What are the Keys to beating the vikings

What is the number 1 priority to get a win against the Vikings?
Obviously score more points but what is the most important stat that will get the Win?

 

Execute the gameplan.


Play fundemental football.


Rinse and repeat.

 

Score more points

 

Thank you Captain Obvious.

 

Win at the line. Slam the running game make Bradford rush his throws and play in their backfield all day long.

 

Play offense like we normally do at home

 

Big Ben & Dillybar Bell.
Vikings not a high scoring team, so 30pts should be enough.

 

I went with other .I think big plays and who convert's more of those into TD'S . They have a solid D and a solid O and so do we for the most part so TD'S will be at a premium .Whoever has the most FG'S thru 3 Quarters will more than likely lose the game .

 

LOS, if Steelers OL can block Vike's pretty good DL, then we should be able to win this game at HOME.

 

You can point out a number of factors, but it comes down to one person, Big Ben. He is the straw that stirs the drink. Which Ben shows up, the good or the bad one? This will be the case all season. Consistency would be nice for a change.

 

Pressure Bradford make him rush his throws, you saw how he carved up the Saints he had time to throw. Watt gets 2 more sacks this week

 

i voted for pressure. bradford is gimpy so we need to get him uncomfortable right off the bat.

 

I would pick 2. TOP is huge against Vikes, and most teams. If our D is on the field too long they will tire out and Cook will have a huge second half. D has got to get off the field on 3rd down, and the Offense needs to have balanced scoring drives. That being said we need to score early, so if there are shots to take Ben has to take them.

Hitting to Cook on the way to Bradford. The front 5-7 need to push that pocket, stop to run and hurry the QB. He is good, as are most, when he has plenty of time. Bradford is a terrible QB under pressure.

Here We Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I'm going with this as well.

 

Let Ben go no huddle and not let Haley call plays; we will need more than bubble screens to beat this team.

 

I would go with win in the trenches every week, but its moreso this week imo. Control the LOS and things generally fall in your favor.

Runner up - less penalties, can't beat yourself vs the better teams.

Really wanted Jaleel Johnson around draft time, I'll be interested in watching him against our O-line. Same mold as Gravedigger imo.

 

Don't turn the ball over, create turnovers, and limit penalties.

 

Steal the oars.
