TODAY'S VIKINGS SCHEDULE

After beating the Raiders last night, the Vikings have the day off. It was scheduled, so they would have gotten it regardless of the outcome. The team will resume camp in Mankato tomorrow.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

Cassel completed five of his six attempts for 62 yards last night. Bridgewater and third-stringer Christian Ponder combined for just 88 yards in three-plus quarters of action. Overall, the Vikings had 109 passing yards after accounting for the yardage they lost on six Raiders sacks. Was it the best of nights for Bridgewater and Ponder? Of course not. But is it time to panic? Nah.
