Edit: roster shows O'Neal as #47....
----------------

Scanning the stats, three things stand out to me (besides DeMeco's awesome performance):

1. Two stupid picks by the QB's. One by Schaub, one by Orlovsky. The QB's gotta stop turning the ball over....

2. No turnovers from the Vikings.

3. Lousy rushing stats - 23 rushes for 61 yards - nowhere to go for the backs...

Nobody runs against the Vikings. Can't run up the middle with the Williams' and that allows the LBs to cover the flanks. Not to mention Antoine Winfield is a hell of a run-support CB (did anybody see him get off the block of Winston and make a tackle?)

Well, yeah - makes for lousy rushing stats doesn't it?
