"I didn't know he could move around like he does," coach Mike Zimmer said. "I think that's part of the things teams have started to have to prepare for nowFirst came a delay of game penalty, a mishap charged to Case Keenum. Then came pressure from his left on the third-quarter drive, forcing a run to his right while dodging Packers defensive linemen on third-and-13.
The Vikings quarterback, now bound by the right sideline and an incoming Packers linebacker, completed a throw that might have made Fran Tarkenton blush. A backpedaling Keenum found tight end David Morgan, who slipped four Packers defenders for the night's biggest play of 23 yards and led to a field goal in the Vikings' 16-0 victory.
"I'm actually in protection and the play kind of busted," Morgan said. "I knew Case was looking for somebody and I just had to let my guy go in hopes of getting open. And he saw me and we made something happen."
A key to Keenum's career-best production — and the Vikings' Super Bowl hopes — has been his ability to create in pressure situations. Keenum is currently pressured 35 percent more than he is sacked, which is a league-leading differential among the likes of Philip Rivers and Russell Wilson, according to Pro Football Focus.
