Week 10

Minnesota 5-3 at Green Bay 6-2 (Packers -7)
This is a crucial game and it is a dog fight from the opening kickoff. We strike first on a 31 yard pass from Foles to Jarius Wright, but Aaron Rodgers throws a pair of 2nd quarter TD passes and we trail 14-13 at the half. We struggle in the 3rd and trail 20-13 before 48 yard drive that is capped by an Adrian Peterson (22 carries, 130 yards) TD run with 3:12 left and we are headed to OT. We go 3 and out and Dan Bailey wins it for the Pack with a 48 yard FG on their first drive. Nick Foles is 20-28, 221 yards, 1 TD, 1 Int. Cordarrelle Patterson has 8 catches, while CB Chris Cook has 8 tackles and 3 assists.
Final: Green Bay 23 Minnesota 20

We cover the spread, but that doesn’t get us a tie for 1st in the North, another divisional game next week and we are in must win territory now.

Week 11

Detroit 3-5-1 at Minnesota 5-4 (Vikings -7)
This is just a beatdown as we race out to a 20-0 halftime lead and hold Detroit to 236 total yards for the game and while we only manage 246, our defense sets us up with 6 sacks and 4 turnovers. Adrian Peterson carries the offense with 28 carries for 116 yards, with three runs of 10+ yards. Foles is not asked to do much and completes 12 of 17 for only 77 yards. OLB Connor Barwin and DE James Robison both tally 2 sacks, with Robison also returning a fumble 25 yards for a score.
Final: Minnesota 26 Detroit 0

Week 12

Minnesota 6-4 at Oakland 0-10
We visit the hapless Raiders and jump out to an early lead, before allowing Oakland to draw to within 13-10 after the third quarter. We have a much better offensive showing, outgaining Oakland 359 to 235, with AP gaining 95 yards on 20 carries and scoring twice. Foles is a mixed bag, going 26-39 for 250 yards, but he also throws 2 interceptions. Peterson also leads the team with 9 catches for 121 yards, while Chad Greenway, Chris Cook and Andrew Sendejo each contribute an interception.
Final: Minnesota 23 Oakland 10 (Vikings -9)

No new injuries outside of our three long term injuries (Cassel, Kalil and DE Lawrence Jackson)

Week 13

Dallas 5-6 at Minnesota 7-4 (Vikings -6)
This turns into a bend but not break battle with neither team having a turnover and moving the ball, but the defenses stiffen in the red zone. Blair Walsh is our main weapon again, nailing field goals of 31, 36, 28 and 39 yards. The one big play is an 80 yard rocket from Foles to Jarius Wright, who is showing a knack for big plays. Foles 15-22, 186, 1 TD is outplayed by Tony Romo 30-41, 297, 1 TD, but the only stat that matters is the W. Peterson goes for 117 on 31 carries and SS Harrison Smith has 7 tackles, 2 assists and a sack.
Final: Minnesota 19 Dallas 10

Three of four in this stretch and we currently hold a wild card spot, but still trail Green Bay by two games. Through 12 games Nick Foles is 207-321, 64.5% for 2172 yards, 13 TD, 9 Int. Adrian Peterson has carried the rock 252 times for 1203 yards, 4.77 YPC, 9 TDs. The receivers are led by Peterson as well with 54 catches for 442 yards, While Cordarrelle Patterson has 40 grabs for 474 yards, 6 TD, 6 drops.
