Eight straight wins, one 40-year-old QB and ... a dominant defense? Patriots just keep on rolling"They're a very good team," McDermott said when it was over. "I was mentioning to their coaches before the game, I felt like this is one of the strongest teams I've seen from them."
Which is saying something, of course. That's not like buttonholing the Los Angeles Rams' coaching staff and telling them this is their strongest team in a while. The Patriots have won 10 or more games in each of the past 15 seasons. If you're an especially good Patriots team, you have a chance to be one of the great teams of all time.
Time will obviously tell on that, but to watch the 2017 Patriots is to see something special -- and not just on Brady's side of the ball. Yeah, there he was hitting Rob Gronkowski nine times for 147 yards while the Pats rolled up 191 rushing yards on the Bills. But it's the other side of the ball that's really making people stand up and pay attention to this New England team. For whatever reason, even as it continues to lose key player after key player on defense, this Patriots team doesn't give up many points.

  On third down, Vikings’ defense had Falcons right where they wanted them
Posted by: purplefaithful - 12-04-2017, 03:35 AM - Forum: The Longship - No Replies

ATLANTA — The Vikings entered Sunday’s game ranked No. 1 in the NFL in third-down defense, so it wasn’t a surprise that they were once again solid. But after surrendering just one conversion in 10 Atlanta tries and limiting wide receiver Julio Jones to two catches, Minnesota qualified as downright superb.
The Falcons (7-5) were smoking hot before the Vikings (10-2) showed up at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, converting 65.9 percent of their third downs in a three-game winning streak in which they averaged 31.7 points.
Against the Vikings, Atlanta converted its first third down of the game, a 16-yard pass from 2016 NFL MVP Matt Ryan to reserve tight end Levine Toilolo on third-and-6 from the Atlanta 37-yard line.
And that was the end of that.
Atlanta whiffed on its final nine third-down conversion attempts one week after converting 11 of 14 in a 34-20 victory over Tampa Bay. The Vikings entered the game allowing a league-low 28.5 percent conversion rate; Sunday’s work dropped that to 27.2.

  Red-hot Vikings chasing first-round bye, then ‘a bigger goal’
Posted by: purplefaithful - 12-04-2017, 03:29 AM - Forum: The Longship - Replies (3)

ATLANTA — After the Vikings lost 14-7 on Oct. 1 to Detroit, defensive end Everson Griffen said it was important to win their next four games.
Well, the Vikings have doubled that. Their 14-9 victory Sunday over Atlanta at Mercedes-Bank Stadium was their eighth in a row.
“We went 4-0 and now we’re 8-0,” Grifffen said. “It’s up to us to keep our foot on the gas pedal.”
The winning streak is the Vikings’ longest since they won their final eight of the 1998 regular season and then a playoff game. Their 10-2 start is the best since they also were 10-2 in 2009.
Minnesota has all but wrapped up an NFC North championship. The Vikings have a four-game lead over Detroit (6-6) and Green Bay (6-6) with four games remaining, and can clinch the division next Sunday with a win at Carolina (8-4) or a loss by either the Lions or Packers.

  Everson Griffen says Vikings pass rush ‘scared’ Falcons QB Matt Ryan
Posted by: purplefaithful - 12-04-2017, 03:26 AM - Forum: The Longship - Replies (13)

[Image: vikings-falcons-2nd-half019.jpg?w=509]

ATLANTA — The Vikings didn’t have a sack Sunday on Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan, but they scared him plenty.
At least, that was the word from Minnesota defensive end Everson Griffen after the Vikings’ 14-9 victory at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
“If they’re scared to throw the ball down the field, then they’re not going to score so many points,” Griffen said. “They were scared of our rush. We affected him. We didn’t get any sacks, but we affected him in many ways. We got pressure in his face. We hit him. So that’s all you can ask.”
With Ryan getting rid of the ball quickly against the Vikings’ pass rush, he completed just 16 of 29 passes for 173 yards with a long completion of just 20 yards. Ryan had a passer rating of 72.9 after entering the game 10th in the NFL with a rating of 97.2
“They are a very good defense,” Ryan said. “We knew it was going to be tough sledding at times, but we’ve got to be more productive and put ourselves in better positions.”

You would think this match-up would have warranted a little better quality.
