By Adam Carlson
Where do the Minnesota Vikings stand in power rankings after beating the Panthers?
Things were looking rough for the Minnesota Vikings in Week 12 when they needed every minute of their game against the Carolina Panthers to complete a comeback and get a 28-27 victory to move them to 6-5 on the season.
