Week 6 was crazy fun. Probably the best game I've played so far this season (gameplay wise). I ended up losing...but it wasn't for a lack of trying. This game featured another rookie quarterback Keith Price. The Vikings actually signed Alex Smith in the offseason, but he was injured for this game. Price absolutely went off on me. Stats to note: Adrian Peterson started out 11 carries for 21 yards, with 3 goal line touchdowns. He also added a 44 yard run towards the end of the game. I also lost Moreno about midway through this game. He's my second halfback of the year to go down with a torn pectoral muscle and will miss the remainder of the season. I'm thinking I'll need to visit this trainer at some point this offseason.

Now I just gotta find another running back to fill in just in case anyone else gets hurt. At this point, I'll be using Marcel Reese a lot more.
Next up is my 4th straight away game, 5th away game in the first 6, and my second divisional game. Bring on the Chargers!
