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.

The Minnesota defense allowed just three points on the evening and the offense did just enough to get the job done as the Vikings fought their way to a 21-13 win over the Colts on Sunday Night Football.
