(Eden Prairie, MN) -- Minnesota Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder told reporters yesterday that his confidence remains high and that he is not overly concerned about his recent struggles in the passing game.
He says nothing jumps out at him in regard to needing to change his performance, and he also says he takes solace in the fact that many of his mistakes aren't repeat errors. Ponder says he remains confident in his abilities and his readiness to the lead the team because he works hard to prepare for every game. Ponder threw for only 63 yards in last weekend's loss at Seattle. Minnesota hosts Detroit on Sunday at noon.
