Pats, Vikings in 7-7 standoff at halftime

Questionable to return, huh? Harvin grabs a short pass and goes for 15 yards to the Pats' 45. But NE stiffens and Vikings punt, putting the Patriots on their 7-yard line midway through the second quarter.
New England secondary, especially right cornerback Kyle Arrington, is keeping Moss in check. So far.
Pats are three-and-out and Vikings soon start from their 43.
Harvin underneath, thanks to a vertical clearout by Moss, goes for 19 yards to the New England 39 - shades of Moss with Wes Welker not too long ago.
Harvin goes for another gain - nine yards - underneath as Favre is picking up good chunks of short yardage in getting Vikes to the 16.
Now it's first-and-10 from the 10.
And now fourth-and-1. And Vikings coach Brad Childress gambles and goes for it. Against four NE down linemen: Brandon Deaderick (305 pounds), Vince Wilfork (324), Myron Pryor (310) and Ron Brace (330).
Peterson, arguably the best running back in the NFL, gets a handoff deep as the Pats line slides to the left. Peterson in the late-developing play gets stuffed for a loss of two yards with, what, less than a minute remaining in the half?
Thus, Pats escape with a 7-7 standoff at halftime.
Think they're second-guessing Childress in the Land of 10,000 Lakes? Sakes alive! You're on the road. Kick the field goal for a 10-7 halftime lead. It's not like you had any time left in the half to take advantage of your good field position if you had stopped the Pats on downs.
