2014 Regular Season

Week 1

Detroit 0-0 at Minnesota 0-0

What a difference a year makes! Our defense shuts down the Lions and Stafford, holing him to 13-31, 141 and picking him off 3 times. Cassel is money (despite being sacked 3 times by Ziggy Ansah) going 17-19, 171 yards and 2 TDs. Sproles and Peterson both add TD runs, with AP gaining 95 yards on 21 carries and Percy Harvin makes a successful homecoming with 5 grabs for 79 yards.
Final: Minnesota 31 Detroit 0

Week 2

Minnesota 1-0 at New York Jets 1-0

The Jets jump out to a 3-0 lead, but we score 13 in the 2nd quarter, highlighted by a 12 yard Cassel to Harvin hookup, and never look back. With the upgraded receiving corps preventing the Jets from loading the box, Adrian Peterson goes off for 127 yard on 27 carries and snags a TD pass from Matt Cassel. Off to a much better start than last season, Cassel is 17-26, 175 and 2 more TD's. He has now thrown 4 TD's no picks to start the season. Defensively MLB Laurinaitis is emerging as a leader and forces a fumble to go with 5 tackles.
Final: Minnesota 23 NY Jets 10

Much better start to our 2014 campaign as Cassel now has some toys to throw to. MLB Erin Henderson and WLB Wesley Woodyard are disgruntled. I get Henderson, since he got displaced but Woodyard is a starter. Upon further investigation it seems his issues stem from a conflict with Laurinaitis. He better learn to play nice real fast.

No majors injuries, just the usual nicks and bruises.
