Bengals-Vikings Boxscore
Peterson has a good game against the Bengals. He had 97 yards on the ground and 47 receiving(yes he can catch the ball to). This is probly his best game this season against a good defense this season. Peterson did not have that many LONG runs he was steady churning out 5-7 yards against a defense that is ranked 3rd against the run. Some of those whole the line was making, Peterson could have drove a Mack truck through it. This is a performace that Peterson needed after the game that he had last week.
The Vikes were back at the Thunderdome and dominated the Bengals in a 30-10 win this week. The defense dominated the Bengals in this game. If the Bengals offense was shutdown for 210 total yards for the game. The Vikes allowed 4 yards per play in the game.
This was a good all-round performance by the Vikes offense and defense. It was a good victory coming off that 30-17 thumping the Cardinals put on the Vikes. The Vikes dominated a quality opponent this week. The offense scored 30 point on a defense that has been on average 16.7 points per contest. The 3rd down efficiency was there converting on 8-14 to keep dives going. It was a good day to be a Viking fan. With this victory the Vikes have clinched a playoff berth the second straight season.

Dont Sleep On AD
Where was the Bengals running game
Besides the couple long run by the Bengals, the Vikes dominated the Bengals offensive line at the point of attack. The front four were in the back field often disrupting the running backs from getting anywhere. The Bengals also helped the VIkes out in this game as well. With all the penalties in this game, this was a factor that killed some of the Bengals drives from going anywhere.
The Replacements
The Vikes had two new players starting for the defense in this game. They did a pretty good job. Starting in place of EJ Henderson was Jasper Brinkley. Brinkley was drafted in the 5th round in past April's draft. Brinkley has 3 tackles in his first start in his carrer. I wa pleased on the way that he played in this game. Sure he is no Henderson YET.
Jamarca Sanford played in place of Tyrell Johnson. Johnson has been a weak link in the Vikes pass defense. Sanford has 5 tackles in the game. He was a considerable upgrade with the way that he played against Cincinnati.
With this victory the Vikes are now in the playoffs. Next week the Vikes will be going to face Carolina in enemy territory on Sunday Night Football. This was a good win against a playoff team, now the Vikes can cruise into the playoffs with a #2 seed, if all goes right maybe #1 seed.
The Vikes are now 11-2, so everyone is happy, well except Packer fans.

He Is Back
Antonie Winfield said that he was not going to come back until he was 100%. He is the energizer that the Vikes defense missed on his 6 game absence. He has all over the field hitting batting doen ball and causing fumbles. In the game, AW had 9 tackes to lead the defense. He showed yesterday that he is still one of the best tackling DBs in the game. With AW return the Vikes did not allow a passing play for more than 15 yards all game long. THis is the perfect time to have him back in the secondary making plays. There is a reson why is a fan favorite.With this victory the Vikes are now in the playoffs.
