Offense: B. Bradford was efficient under pressure; Thielen and Patterson made up for loss of Diggs.
Jim Souhan grades the Vikings
Star Tribune columnist Jim Souhan grades the Vikings after their victory over the Texans:
October 10, 2016 at 4:03AM
Defense: A. This is historic stuff. Vikings are beating up great QBs and terrorizing lesser QBs.
Special teams: A. Sherels with another TD, Walsh was perfect, and Patterson contributed again in coverage.
Coaching: A. Zimmer's defense with an overpowering performance; Norv is making offense run despite O-line injuries and no Diggs.
