Greenway, on that very crisp and determined effort

The floor is yours, Leslie Frazier.

"That's a big win," the Vikings coach said. "It validates the confidence that we have as a staff in our players. It should be something that hopefully we can build on the rest of the season."

Your assessment, Chad Greenway, on that very crisp and determined effort?

"We feel like if we can replicate what we did today every week and be consistent, we have a chance to do something."

Care to add anything, Kyle Rudolph?

"Definitely not [just another game]. This was huge for us to springboard our season."

Clemens was acquitted of all six charges brought by the government

The 50-year-old Clemens is pitching competitively for the first time since 2007 when he threw for the New York Yankees, presumably the last of his 24 major league seasons.

Clemens was acquitted of all six charges brought by the government two months ago in its second go-round charging the former pitcher with lying to Congress about taking performance-enhancing drugs.

A 12-person jury found Clemens not guilty on two counts of perjury, three counts of making false statements and one count of obstruction of Congress.

The 354-game winner will be on the Hall of Fame ballot for the first time in December unless he pitches again in the majors this year.
