After a few of those, I actually wanted it to slow down

The scores were electric, but since Minnesota kept answering, I kept thinking, "Man, can we just grind out an 8-minute possession here with a TD at the end and take a bunch of clock away from them?"

Part of what kept it close, imho, was that MN was winning the Time of Possession big time for most of the night.

Not complaining, just sayin'
