Special Team Player of the Week

Minnesota P Chris Kluwe. If anyone will ever punt a ball to the roof of the Metrodome, it'll be Kluwe. Mr. Hang Time entered the game leading the NFL with a 51.0-yard punting average, and he unleashed five boomers on the day: 57, 48, 59, 38 (but high), 40 (but very high) to the Saints' 10, 9, 20, 23 and 37 yards lines, respectively. Total New Orleans punt-return yards: 9. As posted by Peter King on SI.com

I guess even with a win Kluwe remains the go to guy in Minny......yeah right but its nice to have.

I think he should be player of the week for the Vikes as a team as he conistently pinned the saints deep and no return. He is a big reason also why the "D" did so well and helped us win the filed position battle.

Kluwe...followed closely by KRob.

Richard Owens had a good day on special teams. He caused the fumble on he opening kickoff, and had some tackles on returns.

I agree...also I can't wait to see KRobinson lining up as well.

Didn't Kluwe have a couple of touchbacks though so his net average was probably down, but hey I'll take that over having our special teams try to chase someone down!

Yeah he did have a good game, not to mention the first downs he got on offense. Nicly done.

he only had one and i believe it was his last punt so it didn't really matter.

Oh, I wasn't too sure.

Kluwe outkicked the cameraman twice.

How in the world did he get cut from someone's camp?
