2013 Regular Season
Week 9
Minnesota 1-6 at Dallas 4-4 (Cowboys favored by 3)
God our offense is anemic, Peterson again does well 24-97, but Cassel only passes for 115 yards on 19-26 and our last two drives end in a fumble and you guessed it, interception. For the season Cassel is now 154-265 (58.1%) for 1641 yards, 8 TD's and 9 Int's. Not the stuff NFL QB's are made of, add to that Jared Allen with only 2 sacks through 8 games and you can see why we are struggling. Oh yeah, in this game our two leading tacklers were our safeties.
Final: Dallas 19 Minnesota 10
Week 10
Washington 2-6 at Minnesota 1-7 (We are favored by 5)
Another fast start leads to another big win as Peterson scores the first 3 TD's of the game (2 rushing, 1 receiving) despite a pedestrian 72 yards on 22 carries. Toby Gerhart is the leading rusher with 95 yards on 14 carries. Cassel is 13-20, 195, 1 TD, 1 Int and DE Brian Robison has 3 sacks.
Final: Minnesota 34 Washington 7
Add TE Rhett Ellison to the list of pissed off about playing time guys, yeah, like you are expecting to play over Rudolph when he is healthy.
Injuries
WR Jerome Simpson - Out 4 weeks with a dislocated elbow
C John Sullivan - Out 2 weeks, strained foot ligament
WLB Gerald Hodges - Out 3 weeks with a strained abductor
I activate Joe Childs to take Simpson's place, and sign veteran C Dan Koppen 29/29 as current backup Joe Berger is rated 17/17 and will be inactivated when Sullivan comes back.
