Vikings Earn Playoff Berth With 37-34 Win Over Packers

Adrian Peterson came within 9 yards of Eric twinkyerson's rushing record on Sunday, finishing with 199 yards and powering the Minnesota Vikings into the playoffs, 37-34 over Green Bay.

That forced a rematch with the Packers next weekend in a wild-card game.

Peterson rushed for 36 yards on the last drive, plenty for rookie Blair Walsh's 29-yard field goal as time expired to put the Vikings (10-6) in the postseason. The Packers (11-5) fell to the NFC's No. 3 seed.

Aaron Rodgers completed 28 of 40 passes for 365 yards and four touchdowns and no turnovers, connecting with Jordy Nelson from 2 yards to tie the game with 2:54 remaining but Christian Ponder threw for three scores, including one to Peterson.

kind of looked like the Packers laid down a little bit on this one..or the defense is still a problem..? maybe avoiding Chicago on purpose LOL

 

Maybe trying to get the Vikings at home and Peterson on the grass?
