Vikings @ Chiefs Second Quarter Thread

Email
PrintAnother first quarter, another early lead for the Vikings.
The Chiefs chewed up over half the quarter with their drive to open the game, but the Vikings defense held strong in the Red Zone and held Kansas City to a 40-yard Ryan Succop field goal. On the ensuing drive, the Vikings pounded AP early to get past midfield. And then--are you sitting down?--Donovan McNabb completed a beautiful 34-yard touchdown pass over the top to Devin Aromashodu for a 7-3 Vikings lead. (I did NOT expect to type that sentence.)
The Vikings and Chiefs head into the second quarter with the Vikings still holding that 7-3 lead.

i like how the announcer delayed identifying the tackler until the close up on his number
warcraft, you are my guitar hero !!!
Maybe someone should tell them....
That the first and second quarters are 30 minutes each…….might work?
Hopefully we can sustain a nice long drive...
Not because I’m looking for Donovan to become more successful but because I’m already tired of all these commercials
McNabb is 21st all time in TD passes?
Wow.

Not by great defensive play, but its nice to know the Vikes aren’t the only team that fail to score just on pure failjuice
Haley's on the hot seat
I’d bet Cassel has more pull than Haley now
