Jim Souhan grades the Vikings

October 26, 2014 at 8:35PM

OFFENSE

Souhan's grade: D

Bridgewater, offensive line, receivers all poor, and playing Asiata over McKinnon silly. Only clutch drive redeems offense.

DEFENSE

Souhan's grade: C

This unit has actually played well for first 58 minutes last two weeks, and this week redeemed itself with winning play.

SPECIAL TEAMS

Souhan's grade: C

Locke makes one yearn for Kluwe's return. Walsh showed plenty of leg. Sherels again fielded punt inside 10.

COACHING

Souhan's grade: C

Zimmer's defense showing promise but blowing leads, Norv's offense does not look inventive right now.
