The Minnesota Vikings controlled this game on the ground holding the football for a amazing 38:59!  Sage Rosenfels started this game and he was solid completing 10 of 13 passes for 91 yards.  Tarvaris Jackson was not nearly as effective completing 7 of 15 passes for 39 yards.  John David Booty finished up this game by completing 4 of 7 passes for 23 yards.  Albert Young led the way on the ground in this game for the Vikings with 58 yards on 14 carries (4.1 ypc).  He also caught 3 passes for 13 yards.  Ian Johnson also had a solid game with 50 yards rushing on 9 carries (5.6 ypc).  TE Visanthe Shiancoe led the way in the passing game for the Vikings with 55 yards on 4 receptions (13.8 avg).  The Vikings rushed for an amazing 198 yards on 41 carries (4.8 ypc) in this game.  When you can run the ball like that you can overlook the rather pedestrian 153 yards passing. 

Linebacker Erin Henderson and CB Asher Allen led the way for the Vikings in this game with 5 tackles apiece.  The Colts could only muster 142 total yards (77 rushing, 65 passing) in this game.  This was a good first game effort for the Vikings.
