Bears @ Vikings - Week 12

Pictures speak a thousand words, eh?

To put it bluntly, the Vikings were amazingly dominant in the second half of Sunday's 36-10 victory over Chicago. How dominant you ask? Here's how Chicago's four second half drives went:
Drive #1 - 3 plays, - 12 yards (yes, minus twelve)
Drive #2 - 3 plays, 9 yards
Drive #3 - 3 plays, 3 yards
Drive #4 - 3 plays, - 3 yards

Four three and outs, and a second half yardage total of minus three yards. As a result, the Vikings more than tripled the Bears' total yardage on the afternoon.

The Bears did exactly what Seattle did the week before, they focused most of their attention on stopping Adrian Peterson. All Day once again had an average rushing day (Still managed to get 85 yards and a touchdown) and proved once again that his only weakness is hanging on to the football. The Ol' Man once again stepped up, throwing for 392 yards (10 short of his career high), 3 more touchdowns and for the ninth time this season he threw ZERO interceptions.

In addition, Percy Harvin reached a personal milestone with his first 100 yard receiving game of his career. His sixth catch, in which he was blasted by the Chicago secondary, gave him 101 yards on the afternoon, and he also scored the first touchdown of the game. I still chuckle to myself when I remember on draft day that it was a mistake to draft this kid because he didn't know how to run routes properly.

So, should the Vikings be victorious this Sunday night against the Cardinals, they will guarantee themselves a spot in the playoffs for the second year in a row. They can also clinch the division with a win and a Green Bay loss on Monday night against the Ravens.

So Skol Vikings...and I know it's a total stretch...but... Go Redskins as well!!
