Here’s one of those moments where I think Brady is targeting Gronk a little too much.

@zuriberry: plays that work always look good.

#Patriots need yards to get back into field goal range.

All three of Brady's pass attempts so far have been playaction. #Patriots need deception just to buy him time in the pocket

Nice to see a draw for a change

Me too. RT @NEPD_Loyko : I absolutely see the concerns OL coaches had with Cannon at OG.

Patriots predictable in long-yardage situation. Delayed handoff to RB for large pickup.
by Ben Volin via twitter 9/14/2014 5:42:58 PM
Why are #Patriots running the ball and throwing bubble screens on third and long? Taking the ball out of Brady's hands?
FanSinceThe60s 9/14/2014 5:43:24 PM
Don't they think they can pass there?

Shades of Ridley dropping the ball w/o being touched

Gostkowski drills a 48-yard FG to give #Patriots a 10-7 lead with 32 seconds left first quarter

Stephen Gostkowski solid from 48 yards out. Patriots up 10-7.
by Minnesota Vikings via twitter 9/14/2014 5:44:16 PM
The Patriots 48-yard FG is good.

Vikings: 7
Patriots: 10

Stephen "Automatic" Gostkowski drills a 48-yarder with ease. #Patriots go up 10-7.
by Erik Frenz via twitter 9/14/2014 5:45:15 PM
Through first quarter, no rotation on the offensive line. Looks like Jordan Devey is here to stay.
by New England Patriots via twitter 9/14/2014 5:45:26 PM
Edelman with a fumble, but Connolly recovers it. Gostkowksi connects on a 48-yarder to put the #Patriots on top, 10-7. #NEvsMIN

underwhelming. punter, kicker and turnovers cannot be your keys to the game.

Stephen Gostkowski doing a good job of making sure Cordarrelle Patterson isn't given any opportunity to run back a kickoff.
by Jeff Pini via twitter 9/14/2014 5:46:03 PM
Gostkowski now 3-for-3 in keeping the ball out of Cordarrelle Patterson's hands. If that's the game plan, it's definitely working.
Wayne Swoop 9/14/2014 5:46:06 PM
5 penalties in the first quarter? Blown assignments? C'mon

Chandler Jones at OLB > Chandler Jones at any other position.
by zuriberry via twitter 9/14/2014 5:46:18 PM
Relentless pursuit by Chandler Jones. Much better as the edge rusher in 3-4.
John Cronin 9/14/2014 5:46:32 PM
DID i just witness a pats sack????

End of Q1. #Vikings trail 10-7. #NEvsMIN
by Erik Frenz via twitter 9/14/2014 5:47:51 PM
Ugly start for #Patriots defense on first drive, but they have been much better since then. Now, can they keep it up?
Biff 9/14/2014 5:48:05 PM
So Chandler Jones IS active today. Okay!

I requested him, got no reply RT @gringoinbrazil did any reporter ask him about the nfl problems this wk? seems like bos media dropped ball
by Erik Frenz via twitter 9/14/2014 5:49:32 PM
In and out as 5-technique. RT @JimKelly126 : @ErikFrenz where is Niko on def ?
DrKwanda 9/14/2014 5:50:57 PM
At least Niko will get rest. Didn't he miss like three snaps last year.

Nice 12-yard run by Crazy Legs Cassel. Slipped right through Hightower's arms
by zuriberry via twitter 9/14/2014 5:51:24 PM
Never a good sign when Matt Cassell can get away … Hightower has to make that tackle.
DrKwanda 9/14/2014 5:51:34 PM
Poor pocket containment. The D seems so undisciplined

this defense mixes up bad play with stupid penalties to keep every drive alive

At least there's some semblance of a rush this time

Matt Cassel's pass intercepted by the Patriots. #NEvsMIN
by Ben Volin via twitter 9/14/2014 5:52:31 PM
And then you do something like that, Revis........ AND TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF. First INT of the year gives Pats the ball at the 39
DrKwanda 9/14/2014 5:52:35 PM
Whoops, he tested Revis Island
