Vikings to stick with Freeman at quarterback

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. – The Minnesota Vikings are sticking with Josh Freeman as their starting quarterback, coach Leslie Frazier said Tuesday.

Freeman struggled in his Vikings debut, completing 20-of-53 passes for 190 yards and an interception as the offense went scoreless in a 23-7 loss to the previous winless New York Giants.

But Frazier said he was never tempted to bench Freeman, who signed with the Vikings on Oct. 8, and there will be no change for Sunday night's game against the Green Bay Packers.

"He's ready to go," Frazier said.
