Preview
The Vikings win and they are in the playoffs. Adrian Peterson looks to break Eric Dickerson’s rushing record. He needs 208 yards to get it. The Packers need a win to possibly move up to the #2 seed and get a first round bye. Aaron Rodgers has beaten the Vikings 900 straight times. The Vikings’ defense has been salty the last few weeks. Christian Ponder had better play well or he will be tarred and feathered.
