The first half's gone well for the Vikings, can they keep it up?

By checking the Internet, I see the Vikings are giving the Green Bay Packers a game – up 17-13 at halftime.

I'm recording the contest because work commitments have me chained to my laptop this fine Sunday. But I will watch the game and write a post-game column about what I saw at some point on Sunday or Monday (more than likely Monday.)

I notice the Vikings got two big plays to help them get the lead in the first half. A 72-yard pass from Christian Ponder to Michael Jenkins set up their first touchdown and Toby Gerhart recovered a Randall Cobb fumble during a punt return that set up the second touchdown.

I also notice the Packers Aaron Rodgers went 17-20 for 195 yards in the first half. The Vikes will need a couple of more big plays – maybe more than a couple – to hold the lead in the second half and pull off this upset.
