Jim Souhan grades the Vikings

December 1, 2013 at 9:50PM

OFFENSE Souhan's grade: B

Ignore Ponder, and offense was dynamic running and passing for once.

DEFENSE

Souhan's grade: C

Chris Cook can't give up big plays or get DQed, not with Vikes' secondary problems.

SPECIAL TEAMS

Souhan's grade: B

Controlled Hester until last kickoff of regulation, Locke with a good game, Walsh with game-winner.

COACHING

Souhan's grade: B

Offense looks better when WRS involved. Problems were individual breakdowns, not coaching mistakes.
