Patriots Blog: Players To Watch Against Vikings
BOSTON (CBS) -- Here are some players to pay attention to in Sunday's Pats game against the Vikings.
Tom Brady
I'm going to say it, Tom Brady needs to have a much better game. I understand it's tough to play in Miami but there were a couple of wide open throws that had to be made and they were missed last week. The Pats need 12 to be on his game. It will give the team that much-needed swagger. If he comes out and runs no-huddle the way they are used to seeing it, they will be the team that everyone does not want to play.
Vince Wilfork, Sealver Siliga, Joe Vellano, Chris Jones
These are the members of the Patriots defensive line and even though they no longer have a huge task at hand in slowing down Adrian Peterson, they still need to have a good showing after last week in Miami.
Chandler Jones
Jones needs to get to the quarterback. The defensive backfield is giving the defensive line time. Chandler is the team's best pass rusher and he needs to get to Matt Cassel on Sunday. If he does that, then the Pats will be the defensive team they want to be.
