Vikings fortunate in rallying to beat Broncos

SID HARTMAN @SidHartman

Fans had to be feeling a sense of déjà vu when the Broncos raced out to a 20-0 halftime lead Sunday on the Vikings, who were double-digit favorites and had everything going their way after beating Dallas 28-24 last Sunday night.

It reminded me of the Vikings-Bills game in Week 3 last year, when they faced an unproven quarterback in Josh Allen. Buffalo raced out to a 27-0 halftime lead and a 27-6 victory that shocked Vikings coaches and players.

Sunday looked like a similar story as another Allen — Broncos quarterback Brandon Allen, making only his second career start — raced out to a 20-0 halftime lead.
