Houston Texans @ Minnesota Vikings 8/9/13

Figured we might as well have a thread for it.

SKOL!

 

[RobToxin]

Here's to both teams leaving the game with no injuries.

 

[ladyrockess]

Cordarrelle Patterson returned the kick for 45 yards!! Very nice!

 

[ladyrockess]

Simpson picks up 15 yards on the first down, and then next drive ball bounces off his fingertips for an interception. Sigh.

 

[ladyrockess]

Brandon Burton makes a good tackle that forces Houston to attempt a FG. Houston on board first, 3-0.

 

[RobToxin]

Texans didn't expect the Vikings to be blitzing there.

 

[ladyrockess]

Wow, Ponder is done after a two-play drive! Cassel will play from here on out!

 

[ladyrockess]

Texans didn't expect the Vikings to be blitzing there.

As long as we blitz right...got some nerves going on!

 

[ladyrockess]

And Gerhart brought down behind the line of scrimmage.

 

[ladyrockess]

So it's our BACKUP line in right now - that's interesting.

BEAUTIFUL catch and run by Burton!!! 19 yards!!!

 

[RobToxin]

Big play on third down.

 

[ladyrockess]

Let's hope we have a big play on this third down too!

 

[ladyrockess]

And drive stalls on the 4 yard line, Walsh FG is good. I guess facing adversity in preseason is good

 

[ladyrockess]

Well, while I was eating dinner, Cassel passed for 61 yards to someone named Zach Line! Very nice!

And apparently Sharrif Floyd tipped a pass. Excellent!

 

[ladyrockess]

Sharrif Floyd out with a knee injury. Apparently not serious, but it's preseason and they don't need him to play.

 

[ladyrockess]

Jeff Locke pins the Texans behind the 10 yard line with a 43 yard punt. Very nice indeed!

 

[ladyrockess]

Vikings force a 3-n-out!!

 

[ladyrockess]

And Vikings score another field goal. 1:19 left in the first half.
