One thing we love to do after an upset victory such as the one the Vikings pinned on the 49ers on Sunday is check out what the opposing team had to say. In this case, we were particularly interested in hearing what the sometimes prickly head coach, Jim Harbaugh, offered post-game.

In this case, he was reasonably well-behaved, if not overly informative. He had praise for Christian Ponder and Adrian Peterson. He didn't think the effort was lacking from his team. "We've all got fingerprints" on that loss, he said.
