CHILDRESS TAKES THE HELM – With the OT win over Carolina on 9/17/06, Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress became the 1st Vikings’ coach to start his career 2-0. He was only the 3rd coach of the Vikings’ 7 in franchise history to win his opener over Washington on 9/11/06 on Monday Night Football.

The future of Minnesota Vikings football started on January 6, 2006, when Childress was named the seventh head coach in franchise history. He joined the Vikings following a 7-year stint with the Philadelphia Eagles, including the past four as offensive coordinator. During his tenure in Philadelphia, the Eagles represented the NFC in Super Bowl XXXIX, amassed a 70-42 (.625) record in the regular season, won 4 straight NFC East titles from 2001-04, and advanced to the playoffs from 2000-04. The Eagles’ offense under Childress was able to excel while adjusting to personnel transition and injuries. The team ranked in the NFL’s top 10 in total offense twice in the past 4 seasons and assembled numerous individual achievements. In the 4 seasons that Childress guided the offense, the team amassed 5,000+ yards each season, averaging 333.8 yards per game in that span. The 2003 Eagles led the NFC and set a team record with only 22 turnovers. From 2000-05, the Eagles’ offense featured 7 players who earned 14 berths in the Pro Bowl, highlighted by QB Donovan McNabb’s 5 trips to Hawaii. Throughout his coaching career, Childress has built winners, taking losing programs at Illinois and Wisconsin and turning them into Big Ten champions and Rose Bowl teams. Before joining Philadelphia in 1999, the 1998 squad went 3-13. In 2 seasons they were in the playoffs and in 3 won the NFC East.

COORDINATING THEIR EFFORTS – When Brad Childress began building his Vikings’ coaching staff, he wanted coaches who were good teachers and hard workers, qualities that he found in offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, defensive coordinator Mike Tomlin, and special teams coordinator Paul Ferraro. Bevell spent the past 6 seasons coaching on the Green Bay Packers’ staff, including the last 3 as quarterbacks coach. During his tenure with the Packers, the team went 57-39 in regular-season play and won 3 straight NFC North titles from 2002-04. In the past 3 seasons, QB Brett Favre led the NFL with 1,026 completions, ranked 2nd with 82 TD passes, and 4th with 11,330 yards. From 2002-04, the Packers had a 41-game streak with a TD pass, all thrown by Favre, that ranks as the 2nd-longest streak in NFL history, trailing the 49-game streak held by Johnny Unitas’ Baltimore Colts from 1956-60. Tomlin coached the defensive backs for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the past 5 seasons and was a part of one of the top defenses in the NFL. During his time in Tampa Bay, the Buccaneers’ defense led the league twice in overall defense and was ranked in the top 6 in the NFL in total defense each of his 5 seasons with the Bucs. Over the past 5 seasons (2001-05), Tampa Bay’s defense posted more interceptions (112) than any other team in the league. Tomlin’s defensive backs earned numerous honors for their play during his tenure. Perennial Pro Bowl CB Ronde Barber earned 3 trips to the Pro Bowl and S John Lynch was selected twice. Ferraro was the assistant special teams coach for the NFC runner-up Carolina Panthers in 2005 after spending the previous 24 seasons coaching in the college ranks. In 2005, the Panthers finished 2nd in the NFL in punt return average with 10.8, second only to Baltimore’s 11.1. Panthers’ P Jason Baker finished 3rd in the NFL with a 38.9 net punting average. During the Panthers’ playoff run their special teams play stood out as Pro Bowl WR Steve Smith returned a punt for a TD in the NFC Championship and the punt coverage team held opponents to a 2.2-yard return average. K John Kasay connected on all 6 of his FG attempts and Baker placed 7 of his 16 punts inside the 20-yard line.

The veteran K booted both game-winning FGs in the opening 2 games of 2006 and has upped his career mark to 11 game-winning FGs and 3 of them have come in OT. Dating back to the 2005 season, Longwell has kicked 3 game-winning FGs in the past 7 games. Longwell also showed a flair for the dramatic as he connected with Rich Owens for a 16-yard TD on a fake FG that tied the Vikings-Carolina game at 13-13 in the 4th quarter. Longwell later booted a 19-yard FG in OT to win the game. The fake FG by Longwell marked only the 2nd time in team history the Vikings have scored off a fake FG, the last coming vs. Chicago on 10/16/77 when Paul Krause tossed an 11-yard pass to TE Stu Voigt. Krause was the holder on the play, making Longwell the only K to throw a TD pass in Vikings history. Longwell was named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance vs. Carolina. It marked the 6th time Longwell has earned the honor and he became the 1st Vikings player to be recognized since Gary Anderson’s game-winning 53-yard FG vs. Miami (12/21/02).

JOHNSON RETURNS – Brad Johnson made his 1st Vikings start since 1998 vs. Detroit (11/6/05). After Daunte Culpepper suffered a season-ending knee injury in 2005, Johnson came off the bench to lead the team to a 7-2 record in the final 9 games of the season as the Vikings climbed back into the playoff picture. Johnson threw his 1st career TD pass at the Metrodome vs. Detroit in the opening game of 1996. He holds an NFL record with 10 straight seasons over 60% completions (minimum 100 attempts). Johnson has led all 3 NFL teams he has played for to the playoffs and led Tampa Bay to Super Bowl XXXVII.

DEFENSIVE DYNAMOS – With a secondary that already boasted highly respected CBs Antoine Winfield and Fred Smoot and Pro Bowl S Darren Sharper, the Vikings added to their talented defensive backfield by acquiring S Dwight Smith (New Orleans) in free agency during the offseason. Winfield posted 100 tackles in 2005, the third 100-tackle season of his career. Smith became the first player in NFL history to return a pair of interceptions for a TD when he returned INTs 44 and 50 yards in Super Bowl XXXVII for Tampa Bay. Smoot and Sharper rank second in the NFL among current teammates for the most combined interceptions since 2001. Winfield scored his 1st career TD on a 7-yard INT return vs. Chicago (9/24) and Smith returned another Rex Grossman interception for 30 yards in the game. Vikings LB E.J. Henderson scored his 1st career TD with a 45-yard interception return score vs. Detroit (10/8) and notched his 2nd INT in as many game at Seattle (10/22). CB Cedric Griffin snared his 1st career INT at Seattle.
