Week 15

Philadelphia 6-7 at Minnesota 4-9 (We are favored by 3)
Let's give CB Chris Cook the game ball! After a Walsh field goal on our first drive, Cook negates a huge kickoff return, intercepting Matt Barkley and going 89 yards to paydirt. A second Cook pick on the Eagles next drive sets up FB Jerome Felton's 3 yard plunge and the rout is on! We churn out 408 yards of offense led by Adrian Peterson's 111 yards on 31 totes (still below 4 YPC) and Matt Cassel, who turns in an 18-26, 262 yard performance, with 1 TD. Peterson also adds 5 catches for 154 yards, while the D-line, despite just a single sack, hurries Barkley 8 times and knocks him down 9 times.
Final: Minnesota 41 Philadelphia 17

Week 16

Minnesota 5-9 at Cincinnati 4-9-1 (Bengals favored by 1)
Attention Blair Walsh fantasy owners, you're welcome. Our kickers right foot got more action than a Pier side Brothel as we settle for 5 field goals, while our defense holds the Bengals to a paltry 177 total yards. The rebirth of the Purple People Eaters forced three and outs on 6 of Cincinnati's first 7 possessions, with Chad Greenway getting a pair of sacks and another interception for Chris Cook. Cassel was a game time scratch for no apparent reason and Frazier gave Joe Webb the start, with Webb going 16-27, 159 and a pick, while AP had 28 carries for 117 yards.
Final: Minnesota 15 Cincinnati 0

Week 17

Detroit 9-6 at Minnesota 6-9 (Lions favored by 3)
Detroit has a wildcard spot wrapped up, but plays all it's starters and we make a statement. AP starts the scoring with a 20 yard jaunt, but the Lions score the next 13. Joe Webb 14-20, 163 yards in his second straight start responds with a pair of TD strikes to Kyle Rudolph (7 yards) and Cordarrelle Patterson (23 yards) which sandwich an 89 yard punt return by Harrison Smith. Adrian Peterson runs for 112 yards on 25 carries and we prevail for our 5th straight win, despite being outgained by 100 yards.
Final: Minnesota 28 Detroit 13

Quite the turnaround to finish the season, though a lot of ugliness was mixed in, I will take it. A very curious decision by Leslie Frazier to start Webb the final two games, when Matt Cassel has led us to 3 wins in a row. Webb's contract is up and I have no intention to bring him back so maybe Frazier was allowing him to audition for other teams. The larger question that looms, is did Frazier do enough to keep his job with that late season surge?
