Vikings/Chargers Third Quarter Open Thread

PrintThe experts that thought San Diego would have an easy game seem to be sorely mistaken. The Vikings have come to town and given the Chargers everything they can handle for the first 30 minutes.
The Vikings started the second quarter scoring with a 33-yard Ryan Longwell field goal. The Vikings took a ten point lead on their next drive. Set up by an amazing 46-yard run from Adrian Peterson, Donovan McNabb found Michael Jenkins for each player's first touchdown in a Vikings uniform.
Later in the second quarter, the Chargers had a drive stall out at the Vikings' 25. With kicker Nate Kaeding injured on the opening kickoff, Norv Turner elected to go for it on 4th and 15, which San Diego didn't convert.
The Chargers threatened again just before halftime, but Brian Robison deflected a Rivers pass at the line which Antoine Winfield promptly intercepted. The teams head into the second half with the Vikings up 17-7.
Follow along live as we see if the Vikings can hold on for a huge season-opening win.

With Coach Zorro on our side, we will slice opponents to ribbons. Tim Tebow gives me hope and I already have faith and charity in my heart! I see a propitious future rife with Lombardis for our Broncos!

If Minny doesn't find a way...
…to get off the field on 3rd down, we will not win this game. Rivers is too good to have that much time to look for a receiver. Our secondary has actually played pretty well so far!
wtf or whotf is our secondary covering?

Vikings can't get cocky now
The offense needs to put a drive together and score. THe defense needs rest and an adjustment to stop the gashes.
woah i thought that was greenway for a minute
holla at tha mullet
Chargers cannot go for big plays downfield.....
without a kicker. Can’t afford third and longs today.
