As afar as I am concerned, this is the biggest contribution to the abnormal 6-0 start for the queens. This has alot to do with 3 easy games at the beginning of the season (Rams, Browns and Lions). Don't focus too much on the win against the Ravens but the fact that the Ravens actually managed to make the vikings earn their victory with some bruises. Another rough game against the Steelers will maybe soften them up nicely for us in two weeks:

Running back Adrian Peterson hurt his left ankle while it got caught underneath Baltimore's Dannell Ellerbe during a tackle.
He limped off the field and sat out a few plays during Minnesota's next series, but was back in for the following possession and said afterward he was fine.
"I was in some pain. It wasn't broke or anything, so right now it's feeling real good," Peterson said.
Wide receiver Percy Harvin also aggravated an injury to his left shoulder that had him listed as questionable for the game.
Harvin got hurt while being tackled on a kickoff return and was later taken away on a cart.
Minnesota cornerback Antoine Winfield left the game against Baltimore with an injury to his right foot. "
