Regular Season, Week 13, 2010 NFL Season
Game of the Century!!! Vikings Beat Lions 53-55 Vikings Win NFC North The Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions put together possibly the game of the century, if not all of NFL history, here this Sunday afternoon as it came down to Josh Brown kicking the game winning field goal in the final seconds. The Minnesota Vikings offense was beyond potent as they traveled well over the length of seven football fields with 739 yards of total offense, a new NFL record; not only that Adrian Peterson yet again broke the single game rushing record by rushing for 376 yards, well beyond staggering and quite possibly reaching the limits of human capability in the NFL. Adrian Peterson is now the only player in NFL history to not have just one 300+ yard rushing game, but three. In his fourth year in the NFL, the young running-back has already etched himself as a first-ballot hall of famer. Both the Vikings and Lions offense combined for 1,408 Yards total, well smashing the previous record held by the Vikings and Packers in last season's Divisional Playoff Round. Alex Smith was incredible as he threw 20/33 for 327 yards and two touchdowns. Adrian Peterson yet again had over 50 carries for the second week in a row as he rushed 53 times for 376 yards and three touchdowns. Alex Smith also had a rushing touchdown. Adrian Peterson also was incredible in the receiving game, hauling in four catches for 115 yards and 1 touchdown. Nate Burleson caught three passes for 110 yards and the other touchdown. On defense Lions QB Chevon Cottrell was sacked six times and intercepted four times. The Vikings rookie linebacker Cedric Wall flashed some special talents as he not only forced a fumble but made a safety on the Lions offense. Still, the defense was horrendous outside of these highlights by giving up possibly it's worst amount of yards to date: 669 yards. The Minnesota Vikings now officially are winners of the NFC North for the second year in a row. Both the Vikings and New Orleans Saints have won their respective division and for now it appears that the Minnesota Vikings are content putting their foot off the gas and focusing on preparing for the playoffs and home field advantage. Next week they face off against the Chicago Bears, who defeated the Green Bay Packers this week in overtime. The Bears are desperately clinging to playoff hopes, but the Minnesota Vikings could eliminate them with a win here. |
