Based on the numbers the Vikings put up, they win on most days. The Steelers defense turned the game around. They were +1 in the turnover department and sacked Brett Favre four times. The number that stands out is the eight additional penalties called on the Vikings. I watched this game, and one weak leg-whipping call took away a touchdown from Minnesota., which led to a fumble return for a score. So, the outcome of the game could have been different.
New England at Tampa Bay
This was a blowout. The Patriots dominated, gaining 170 more yards, were +1 in the turnover differential, and didn't allow a red zone chance. The Patriots also kept Tom Brady relatively clean, while allowing just one sack on two hits. Too bad England has only witnessed lopsided games in the games over the pond.
New York Jets at Oakland
Another blowout performed by a good team over a lousy team. It was a total domination, as the Jets gained 180 more yards, forced four turnovers, held the ball for 12 additional minutes, and kept Mark Sanchez clean- only one sack on one hit. The bad news for the Jets is they lost Leon Washington for the season. He's a game-changing player. They will certainly miss him.
