Week Six - Featured Games

Division 1979
1998 Minnesota Vikings (15-1, 2-2) at 2008 San Diego Chargers (8-8, 2-3)

Despite giving up 28 points in the second quarter and being down 28-17 at halftime, the Vikings made a game of it. They grabbed the lead (32-31) with 1:54 to go on a Robert Smith 13-yard td run. Unfortunately, the defense broke down and Minnesota loses the game due a Nate Kaeding field goal at the end of regulation. This was a heartbreaker. I have a feeling that to win this division, a team cannot lose to an inferior team and the Vikings were the first of the heavyweights to blink. It may have them on the outside looking in at season’s end.
Final: SD 34 – NE 32
