Childress debut
The NFL is about players. Hall of Fame coaches will tell you that.
But tonight's most intriguing matchup is between the coaching staffs. The Vikings easily have the NFL's most inexperienced staff, with a rookie head coach, and rookie coordinators, who also happen to be among the youngest in their roles.
The Washington Redskins, meanwhile, boast the NFL's most expensive and experienced coaching staff, led by Joe Gibbs, who has led his team to three Super Bowl titles.
Working under Gibbs are three former NFL head coaches Al Saunders (San Diego), Gregg Williams and Joe Bugel (Phoenix, Oakland).
And beware, Viking fans, don't be misled by the Redskins' 0-4 preseason record. This is a veteran football team that can put that behind them.
Those are daunting challenges. But true competitors wouldn't ask for anything less.

Not to mention the Vikes are 0-8 against Joe Gibbs. Time to chalk one up in the win column.
