--WR Bernard Berrian on the Vikings' four turnovers that led to 21 points for the Titans on Sunday: "You can't do it. You can't turn the ball over that many times, especially on your own side of the field. You do that and you're making it way too hard on the defense. You shoot yourself in the foot when you put yourself in those situations."
--RB Adrian Peterson also said "turnovers were the key" to the loss. "If you take the turnovers away it is a different ballgame," Peterson said. "We might be in here celebrating right now. You just can't have turnovers." Peterson had one of the turnovers, losing a fumble deep in his own territory in the second quarter.
--C Matt Birk is trying to stay positive despite the Vikings' 1-3 start. "We have plenty of games left. In the big picture, there's a long way to go in this thing. There are times we've played well and times we haven't. Good teams get better as the season goes on, and that's what is important. We need to learn from the mistakes we've made and the failures we've had and get better. It's still September, and good football teams continue to improve all through the year." The Vikings have not started a season 1-4 since Mike Tice was head coach in 2002.
