OP what game were you watching?
To me the Hawks kicked their rear ends, it was never close, the D stole away every opportunity their O had except at junk time when the outcome was secure. We ran on them and they are supposed to be good at shutting down the run. The Vikings are a good team and the Hawks took away any Offensive game from them. Russell played well except for a few brain cramps, he threw some bullets and had some very close big plays. Actually, he was special and the best QB on the field, it wasn’t close. Also special were Shaq Griffin, Tre Flowers, both safeties, Frank Clark, Jaran Reed, and a whole lot of other players. Our team was head and shoulders deeper, more physical, and faster. Our coaches outreached their coaches.
This was a big W. This is a team warming up and getting primed for playoff football. Every critical game they show up.they are developing a new identity.
