CB Griffin rebounds, will future follow?
Cedric Griffin “played freely” being back in the starting lineup, but will that translate into a future with the Minnesota Vikings? Head coach Leslie Frazier was certainly pleased to finally see Griffin playing the prescribed techniques.

Purple Jesus Diaries' Masturbatory Game Preview: Vikings vs. Redskins
Please lose: The Vikings are a team who can't do ANYTHING right. They lose to the Saints in the NFC Championship after clearly out-playing them and overall being the better team. There's the Falcons debacle. 41-0. Sex boat scandals instead of a quite bye week with the family. Losing to the Cardinals and missing out on the playoffs. The amount of foibles this team has shown...

Vikings could help Allen reach sacks record
The Vikings may try to move Jared Allen around on defense to help him get the franchise and/or NFL single-season sack record. Plus, Cedric Griffin is still in the Vikings’ plans and Christian Ponder could use an offseason to make the offense second-nature.

Purple Jesus Diaries Game 14 Review: At Least the Packers Lost
Does that sound petty? I feel like that makes me sound like a poor sports fan. "Oh, the Vikings got their ass handed to them on a Christmas platter, but at least the Packers lost!" Those fans are just the worst. It's like they don't even know what winning tastes like, how it's sweet, sweet juices can dribble down a person's chin and how you savor each victory...

Vikings Bench CB Cedric Griffin
The Minnesota Vikings will attempt to slow down the New Orleans Saints' passing game with a cornerback duo of Asher Allen and Benny Sapp. Former starter Cedric Griffin has been benched, and it's not clear what role he'll play Sunday. The Vikings' pass defense hasn't been good this season. They haven't intercepted a pass in eight games, tying an NFL record...

Cedric Griffin Not In Leslie Frazier’s Doghouse Despite Comments
It’s safe to say Cedric Griffin was not happy about being yanked from Sunday’s game. After watching Cedric fail to execute proper Cover-2 technique on Titus Young’s 57-yard TD catch, Leslie Frazier decided it was time for his veteran CB to take a seat. Cedric never got back in the game. Afterward Griffin had some pretty strong words about Frazier’s decision...

Vikings CB Cedric Griffin Reacts Bitterly To Benching Vs Lions
It was exit snarling day today for embattled Vikings cornerback Cedric Griffin, who reacted bitterly to his first-quarter benching during Minnesota's 34-28 loss to the Lions and might have signed his walking papers. "It was a team decision so I'm going to make my decision what I got to do after the season and they're going to make their decision," said Griffin...

The Minnesota Vikings are struggling in the secondary.
Even normally optimistic coach Leslie Frazier let loose after the loss on Sunday to Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos. The Vikings have allowed 24 touchdowns passing this season, the most in the NFL, and missed tackles have become a problem too.
The next two games are against Detroit and New Orleans, two of the league's...

Raiders WR Darrius Heyward-Bey Has Feeling, Should Travel Home With Team
Early in the fourth quarter of the Raiders-Vikings game, Darrius Heyward-Bey caught a pass across the middle of the field, and while Cedric Griffin tackled him, E.J. Hendersons knee caught Heyward-Bey in the head and knocked off his helmet. While the play looked serious and awfully scary, Raiders coach Hue Jackson said Heyward-Bey had full use of extremities.

Packers edge Vikings 45-7
The Vikings were never in this one. First the Packers scored on special teams and then the scored through the passing game, then they scored through the passing game again, and then through the air again, they also scored through the kicking game. They scored on deep passes, they scored on little hook patterns, you know because Jordy Nelson stiff-armed Cedric Griffin to the ground...
