It’s Randall Cunningham vs. Randall Cunningham in this battle for the top of the division. Neither QB is terribly effective although the Viking version did throw a td.

He was bested by POG Philly’s Heath “I honestly do not remember this guy” Sherman who had just 68 yards but 2 td’s In the end, it was the younger Cunningham that prevailed in a close one. PHI 20 – MIN 17.
