Sunday’s Matchup for week 4 in NFL

London will host the game between the Pittsburg Steelers and the Minnesota Vikings; it’s still a bit early in the season but neither team has won a game as yet, and no 0-3 team has ever made it to the playoffs since 1998.

London will host the game between the Pittsburg Steelers and the Minnesota Vikings; it’s still a bit early in the season but neither team has won a game as yet, and no 0-3 team has ever made it to the playoffs since 1998.

The Vikings will be without starting quarter back Christian Ponder, veteran backup Matt Cassel will have take his place, however; he only has a 66.7 passer rating and threw only 6 touchdowns and 12 picks last season for the Kansas City Chiefs last year. Adrian Peterson has not been living up to his expectations; he has been held to 2.9 yards per carry and last week he ran for 88 yards and a touchdown.

Last week Ben Roethlisberger was able to hook up with wide receiver Antonio Brown for a pair of touchdowns and had a career best of 196 yards, but was still not good enough to beat the Chicago Bears. Steeler fans are still waiting for the debut of rookie running back Le’Veon Bell as their running attack is only averaging 51.7 yards that ranks them last in the league.

Let us see how this battle of 0-3 pans out today across the pond, somebody has to win and this one might get ugly.
