05 Nov 2009 05:03:00 PST

Written by The Sports Xchange
An old quarterback that Brad Childress wouldn’t stop pursuing and a first-round draft pick that some had taken off their board are propelling the Vikings’ scoring in the first half of the season. Both moves had some second-guessers, but few question the wisdom of them now.
