That's only because you hired a former NIU Huskie as head coach.

Everson Griffen has been named the NFC's Defensive Player of the Week for Week 3.
Kendricks in Week 1.
Two Vikings in three weeks. Is that good? That seems good.

So I guess the real question is: which Vikings player will win a Player of the Week award in Week 4?
I'll go with Trae Waynes. Maybe he'll get a couple more picks off Eli.
