Kickoff for the much anticipated Sunday Night Football showdown between the Vikings and Green Bay Packers is only hours away. Here are a few final thoughts on the game.
Different week, same caveat with quarterback question
As was the case hours before last week’s season opener, the Vikings have not announced who will start at quarterback. But as was the case last week, the uncertainty of who will start does not diminish the importance of playing well around the quarterback. Whether it’s Shaun Hill, who started last week, or Sam Bradford, who most expect to start this week, the Vikings must protect the quarterback, they must run good routes and get open, and they must threaten (and produce) with the running game.
