There wasn't a lot of offense in that game yesterday, but the Vikings game plan was short passes, lots of runs, and hold onto the ball while using all the game clock to their advantage.
As a result, Case Keenum was 25-30 with 227 yards passing and two TDs. The running game had 105 yards. AND the Viking defense was smothering (Atlanta was just 1-10 on third down. Matt Ryan's 30 straight games with a touchdown pass fell by the wayside.)
Consistent and methodical are the two best words to describe the Vikings yesterday.
With the Eagles losing, the Vikings are positioning themselves at a real chance for home field advantage throughout the playoffs. I keep waiting for the wheels to fall off this bus, but I'm growing more optimistic by the day.
Carolina lost to the Saints yesterday, so they are going to be desperate for a win next week at home against the Vikings.
I'm hoping that doesn't matter. I'm starting to think the Vikings are the better team.
Skol Vikings!
