Regular Season Week 1
Minnesota Devastates Cardinals, 47-3 (Bernard Berrian) The Minnesota Vikings began the 2009 season looking to start off hot, and start off hot they did indeed do. Heading to Glendale, Arizona to face off against the Cardinals, they ended up not only dominating the game on offense, but forcing turnover after turnover on defense, intercepting QB Matt Lienart 4 times. The rookie quarterback from Army, Colby Arden, had a great debut in his limited performance, as he threw 12/16 for 198 yards and 2 TDs. The big story today was Adrian Peterson going wild, as he ran 41 times for 279 yards, 17 yards shy of the single game record he himself set two years ago against the San Diego Chargers. Peterson also hauled in three touchdowns, two on the ground and one in the air, to gain the NFC Offensive Player of the Week award. In the receiving game, it was all Bernard Berrian and Adrian Peterson, who caught 6 passes for 92 yards, and 4 passes for 91 yards respectively. Bobby Wade also caught a 14 yard pass for a touchdown from Arden. Defensively, the Minnesota Vikings decimated the Arizona Cardinals and only allowed 3 total points from their offense. Chad Greenway had the lone sack on Matt Lienart, however, Lienart threw four interceptions, two in the red zone. Ben Leber hauled in two interceptions himself, and so did Antoine Winfield, but perhaps most impressive was Cedric Griffin's goal line interception that was hauled back for a 103 yard pick-6. On Special Teams, Chris Henry also forced a fumble on returner Steve Breaston. The kicking game was perfect as Josh Brown went 4/4 on Field Goal Attempts, the longest from 43 Yards. He was also 5/5 on Extra Points. |
