The Vikings offense was very vanilla last night.  Tarvaris Jackson started this game at QB and he completed 2 of 8 passes for 20 yards.  Sage Rosenfels also made a brief, uneventful appearance as he completed 1 of 4 passes for 10 yards.  Rookie QB Joe Webb finished up things and he looked pretty decent completing 5 of 9 passes for 100 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 INT.  He also carried the ball 4 times for 48 yards (12.0 ypc) last night.  Albert Young was a workhorse last night for the Vikings with 42 yards rushing on 13 carries (3.2 ypc) with 1 TD run.  He also caught 2 passes for 2 yards (1.0 avg) last night.  Ian Johnson pitched in with 18 yards rushing on 6 carries (3.0 ypc) with 1 TD run and he also caught 1 pass for 9 yards.  WR Javon Walker was the standout in the passing game with 4 grabs for 87 yards (21.8 avg) with a TD.  The Vikings finished up with 133 yards rushing (4.4 ypc) and 112 yards passing in this game as they only had the ball for 24:10.

Linebacker E.J. Henderson led the way for the Vikings’ D in this game with 9 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, 1 sack, 1 QB hit and he recovered two fumbles.  One of his fumble returns went for a 35-yard TD.  Fellow LB Jasper Brinkley also had a solid game with 7 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss and 1 QB hit.  Safety Tyrell Johnson pitched in with 4 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, 1 pass defensed and 1 interception (41 yard return).  The Broncos finished up with 82 yards rushing (2.7 ypc) and 355 yards passing in this game.  The Vikings finished the pre-season with a 3-1 record.
