The Texans are getting lit up all over the field.

Jamison with the TFL -1. 3rd and 6 coming up.

Penalty on Vikes -5.

Holliday fields the punt and only gets a couple. Ball at the Texan 24.

So you attack this defense by running up the middle and passing to the sidelines.

It will be a welcome change I guess. Over the last four or five years we've watched the Texans get beaten when teams run outside and pass over the middle.

Keo sucks, Barber sucks. It is incredible that this organization has literally never drafted a safety that deserved to play in the NFL.

That was number 38, by the way, not 28.

[Arky]

Vikes rush right side for about 8 or 9. Ball at the Texan 10. 1st and goal.

King sweeps left for about 3.

Delay up the middle by King takes it into the endzone.

Vikings 21, Texans 0

[Arky]

Holliday brings the kickoff back to the Texan 22. 13:41 left in the game.

Obie for about 10 on the right side.

Obie upended, gain of 1.

Pass to Maehl in traffic gets 6. 3rd and 3 coming up.

Yates scrambles for 4 and the 1st down. Ball at the Texan 44.

Dump pass Pauga too low, inc.

Dump over the middle to Graham gets 7 or 8. 3rd and 2 coming up.

Obie TFL -3 but flag on the play. Against Texans for illegal formation, declined by Vikings. Brings up 4th down and 5, Texans to punt.

Punt is fair caught by the Vikes at their 18.

[chuck]

Does Kubiak let the twos and threes practice during the week? I've been watching the Texans for ten years and have never seen a squad look as bad, confused, out of synch, poorly organized and poorly coached as the team I have seen tonight.

Not that I really care that all these guys who aren't going to be playing in the league tomorrow suck, but I'd love to see something that gives me some measure of confidence that the team is drafting and signing decent players and teaching them the system in an effective manner.

[Arky]

10:19 left in the game.

Vikes rush for no gain.

Again, rush for no gain. Makes it 3rd and 10.

Vikes go left side for about 3. Vikes have to punt.

Punt is brought back by Holliday for short gain (after a quick muff). Ball is at the Texan 47.
