Game of Redemption


After being traded from the New England Patriots to the Minnesota Vikings this week, Randy Moss will make his debut with his former team against the New York Jets. Besides being able to “moss” Darrelle Revis with a one hand touchdown-catch in the first half, the Jets were able to contain one the best wide receivers of all-time throughout the game. It should be an interesting match-up as Revis has stated that his hamstring would be good to go for the game.
Moss has had some great memories in Minnesota and I’m sure he’ll want to pick up right where he left off. This could be the key to Brett Favre getting his mojo back and hopefully beating his former team as well.
Another player who seems to be forgotten is former Super Bowl MVP, Santonio Holmes. Due to substance abuse policy, Holmes received a four-game suspension. Mark Sanchez seems to be in a groove while the Jets have been able to move the ball not only on the ground, but through the air. The return of Holmes just makes the offense deadlier.
Both teams are probably the most dangerous that we’ve seen them all season. The Jets passing game has added another key element and they already have two monsters in the backfield. Even though Moss may be a little older, he still has made the shaky pass game of the Vikings much more dangerous. Remind you that the man did reinvent the word catching “Mossed” and how could I forget about the vicious, beast Adrian Peterson who runs relentlessly every time he touches the ball.
Both of these teams are top contenders in their conference and have the weapons to make it to the Super Bowl. We may not get a chance to see both of these teams play again, so tune into Monday Night Football to see these titans clash.
