We're through three

Three quarters are complete, and the Packers have this game in hand, leading 27-0. The score's not close, but there are some important things to note from the third quarter.
*First and foremost, Vikings RB Adrian Peterson looked like he suffered an ugly injury with 1:28 to go in the third. He was flipped head-over-heels on a run, and he was writhing in pain on the ground. He was putting some weight on his leg as he was helped off the field. We were told that he has a knee injury and his return is questionable. Pretty vague, but that's all they'll give us right now.
*Packers RT Mark Tauscher looked visibly injured during the third. He was hobbling around on his left ankle, and it was confirmed just minutes ago. He could return, but with the score the way it is, he likely will not.
*Brett Favre is appears to be fine after taking a scary blow to the head from Kenechi Udeze.
*The Packers' kickoff-coverage unit is amped up today. Before every kickoff, they gather in a tight circle and rip off a loose rendition of the dance that accompanies Soulja Boy's "Crank Dat."
