-- The dink-and-dunk Vikings' offense (less than 18 ppg) is not designed to play from behind, and the crowd, if you recall, was a huge factor in the Seahawks jumping out to a 35-3 lead against the Giants. Minnesota, which needed a couple of defensive TD's handed to them to get by Detroit in last outing, has scored TD's just 25% in the red zone. Shaun Alexander is still not back for Seattle, but this team was buoyed by the big comeback win at St. Louis. Deion Branch (2 TD's vs. Rams) is now firmly established in the offense.
