Christopher Gates has been the lead writer at The Daily Norseman since the site launched in July of 2006, covering the Minnesota Vikings day in and day out.

Unfortunately for the Vikings, NFL games aren’t played on paper. But, thanks to a guy who wasn’t even on the Minnesota roster until Tuesday, they managed to do just enough.
John Parker Romo connected on four field goals and the Vikings’ defense forced turnovers on the Jaguars’ last three possessions to escape from Duval County with a 12-7 victory in Week 10 of the NFL season.
