AT THE HALF: Vikings Play the Highlight Films, 38-6 So Far

You have to love the shovel pass.
Especially when your quarterback is out of the pocket and looking like he's about to become the meat in a Maroon Sandwich.

That lead was in medias res.
The Hess TD was the third Geneva score in a 17-0 first quarter, and just one of a series of human highlight films for the Vikings.
