Denver Broncos – 35, Minnesota Vikings – 32

Of course what was probably the most entertaining game of the week involved Tim Tebow (215 total yards, 2 TDs) and a last minute comeback win.  The Tebow once again looked bad for the first half of the game, but suddenly turned on the mojo and put away a scrappy Vikings team with less than a minute to go in the game.  Christian Ponder (393 total yards, 3 TDs, 2 INTs) gave the Broncos all they could handle and has the look of a future franchise quarterback… at least the future is looking brighter for Vikings fans, even if the present isn’t so great.

Demaryius Thomas (4-144, 2 TDs) had a big breakout game, finally getting the type of receiving yards many envisioned him getting when he was drafted two years ago.  Too bad Tebow doesn’t pass enough to remotely count on any Broncos receiver being consistent, as proven by Eric Decker (2-25) who’s wildly up and down.

With Adrian Peterson out, Percy Harvin (8-156, 2 TDs; 5 car., 19 yards) has become the star of the Vikings offense, and he’s been more than up to the task with insane numbers in the past few weeks.  Harvin’s numbers may go down some when Peterson returns, but he’ll still be an every week play without question.  Devin Aromashodu (6-90) got the start with Michael Jenkins on IR, and he showed up in a big way as well. 

Willis McGahee (20 car., 111 yards, 1 TD) got another 100 yard rushing game and has really benefited from an offense where Tebow draws almost all of the defensive attention, as no one goes into a game against the Broncos and says “we gotta stop McGahee!”

Toby Gerhart (21 car., 91 yards; 8 rec., 42 yards) had a very good game in relief of Peterson and has shown he’s a viable option when the star goes down.  Gerhart may remain a factor as Peterson’s relief once he’s healthy, which could cut in some to Peterson’s numbers.
