The Packers and Vikings are both very good teams. The Vikings had to play a very good ball game to beat the Packers in their place. The Packers are probably a more balanced team (at least when healthy) but Minnesota's defense is the strongest side of the ball that either team has.

I think the injury to AP might actually be a blessing to the Vikings, because AP was no longer the dominant back he used to be. You don't have to feed him anymore...and I think it will benefit their offense over time. The jury is still out on Bradford...the guy flashes tremendous ability on occasion, but then also can go through periods of questionable play. We'll find out how good he really is after about 5 or 6 weeks...once teams have plenty of film on the Vikings offense with him (or AP) in there and start making adjustments.
