After one quarter, the Vikings' offense certainly is more in rhythm than it was in last week's season opener.

Quarterback Donovan McNabb completed 6 of 9 passes for 55 yards. He had only seven completions and 39 yards last week.

Adrian Peterson had eight carries for 41 yards and his team record 53rd career touchdown as the Vikings lead 7-0.

Long story short, it seems the Christian Ponder era will have to wait at least anothere quarter. McNabb and the offense looks pretty good. And the defense looks good too. The Bucs' OTs can't handle the Vikings' DEs.
