‘Purple People Eaters’ Back? Vikings Starting To Think So

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Everson Griffen saw where defense got the Denver Broncos last season.

The Minnesota defensive end believes the Vikings have the talent to head in that same Super Bowl-bound direction.

“We are three games in and we have a long ways to go, but we can get there,” said Griffen. “We can definitely get there.”

Everson and company harassed league MVP Cam Newton all game, registering eight sacks, three interceptions and a safety to help Minnesota beat the Carolina Panthers 22-10 Sunday and improve to 3-0 for the first time since Brett Favre was playing quarterback back in 2009.
