Who were the Minnesota Vikings offensive and defensive MVPs from Week 14?

Week 14 was disappointing for the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings needed a big win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to give themselves their first winning record of the year and increase their chances of getting a spot in the postseason in the crowded NFC playoff picture.

Instead, the Bucs put a bit of a whooping on the purple and gold and beat Minnesota by a final score of 26-14. This moved the Vikings to 6-7 on the season and pushed them out of the seventh spot in the NFC standings for the time being.

There were a lot of mistakes in the game that pushed a victory out of reach for Minnesota. But there was also some really good play from individuals that put everything they had into the matchup in hopes of a win.

Who deserves to be recognized as the Vikings offensive and defensive MVPs from Week 14 in Tampa? Luckily, we won’t be talking about and members of Minnesota’s special teams.
