Yikes and Away!!

Packers 45, Vikings 7

The Minnehaha Yikings lost the coin toss. The Packers, thinking ahead, kicked first. 3 Plays later, the Yikes punted to #18, there, and Randall Cobb runs past 11 guys in purple and scores without the vaunted Packer offense even going on the field. Game over. Yikings DO score a touchdown, but only after the Packers muff a punt at their own 15. Yikings able to row in from there, safely buried on the scoreboard. It is not without precedent, but the Yikes elected to not run the other way. That only works when you are on defense and you have an excuse for not knowing which way you are going...you're a defensive player, how are you supposed to know where the ball is going?

Hairstyles may be getting adventurous, but which division has the most teams that have not changed their unis in ages? The Packers are the last team in the NFC North division now to not have done at least an iota of change. Yikings have the Nike pants now, the Bears wear orange jerseys sometimes (wow), and the Lions blue color seems to be fading just a tad every year. Anybody got that stat?

Yoiks and away, indeed.
