Week 9

Minnesota 5-3 at New Orleans 4-4 (Vikings -3)
The defense makes big plays in this one as we race to a 17-0 lead highlighted by rookie DT Cosey Anthony’s 5 yard fumble return for 6. Drew Bree’s leads the Saints back with a pair of 2nd quarter TD drives, but we put the clamps on him in the 2nd half. Bree’s finishes 19-43, 185 yards, 1 Int, 1 TD and is eventually replaced by Ryan Griffin. Matt Cassel turns in a 20-30, 244, 3 TD, 1 Int performance and AP gains 92 hard fought yards on 26 touches.
Final: Minnesota 31 New Orleans 21

Week 10

Bye – Backup SE Jarius Wright (Elbow) and WLB Gerald Hodges (Achilles) are both out and 3 weeks from full strength, with Harvin, C John Sullivan and RG Jamon Meredith nursing bumps and bruises. All three will be good for week 11.

Week 11

Minnesota 6-3 at Detroit 2-7 (Vikings -4)
Our record of performing to the level of our opponents holds true to form as we find ourselves in a Dogfight with the lowly Lions. Peterson runs for 134 yards on 25 carries and Matt Cassel is a respectable 22-34, 220 yards, 1 TD, 1 Int, but we continue to stall in red zone. The usually dependable Blair Walsh misses 2 field goals, including the potential game tying kick from 47 yards out with 7 seconds left. Our first division loss.
Final Detroit 19 Minnesota 16

Week 12

Miami 3-7 at Minnesota 6-4 (Vikings -6)
We play the role of favorites this time, ripping off 39 unanswered points after giving up a the first score on a Tannehill to Meachem strike. Despite our offensive outburst, all is not well as 21 of those points come on 7 Blair Walsh field goals (1 short of the NFL record) and another TD is tallied on a Harrison Smith pick 6, which it seems he is good for twice a season. All in all we have 4 takeaways (2 Interceptions by CB Chris Cook) while Adrian Peterson tops the century mark again 24-114 and Cassel is an efficient 15-23, 217 yards with no TD’s or picks.
Final: Minnesota 42 Miami 21

We sit at 7-4 and tied with Green Bay atop the North, currently holding the tie breaker, but a high December matchup looms with the Pack in week 15 at home. We also have some key injuries entering the stretch run with two starters going down. DE Brian Robison is done for the season with a severe Hamstring pull and FS Andrew Sendejo is like done for 2014 as well after breaking his Tibia. If he does come back it would be late in the playoffs, if we make it. I sign 4 year DE Marcus Dixon 29/29 and cut 7th round draft pick WR Archie Schulz 21/31 to make room for him. I also activate 6th round pick, RB James Houston (now scouted at 31/41, +4) to bring us to 47 players active.
