OFFENSE

Souhan's grade: B

Bridgewater's bad throws were very bad, but he handled blitz, survived bad offensive line play, made big plays.

DEFENSE

Souhan's grade: C

Front continues to generate pressure; secondary looking shallow and vulnerable.

SPECIAL TEAMS

Souhan's grade: C
Locke is not having a good year. Kluwe was better even in his last season.

COACHING

Souhan's grade: B

Zimmer, Turner getting a lot out of rookie class, one play away from 3-game win streak. B.
