The Minnesota Vikings returned home this week to play the Miami Dolphins. This was a huge game for both teams, with a win helping both of their playoff chances. The Vikings came out fast and scored 21 points in the first quarter. This was awesome to see because we just signed a new offensive coordinator. From there it seemed as if the Vikings would just coast from there, getting a couple late scores to win 41-17. This was a huge win for the Vikings and it was exactly what they needed. They now improve to 7-6-1 and play in Detroit this week against the Lions. This will be another big game for them as they need to win with teams just a half game behind them for the last Wild Card Spot. I'm very excited to watch them on Sunday because I think things are going in the right direction.

Well the Vikings lost again, that makes it two in a row after their loss to the Patriots last week. As a Vikings fan I hate to say it, but things are not looking good for Minnesota. Watching that game was really hard for me. The play calling was terrible and Kirk Cousins was constantly missing easy throws to open receivers. Also, there was no run game, which has been the problem all year. But enough of me ranting. The game didn't have a lot of action in the first half, with only 3 points put on the board. But a big play was made at the end of the half, when the Vikings defense got a big interception at the goal line to keep Seattle from scoring and making it 3-0 at half. Seattle would kick another field goal to make it 6-0. The biggest play in the game came in the fourth quarter when the Vikings decided to go for it on 4th down on the 2 yard line. Unfortunately they could not convert and turned it over. On the following possession they had another scoring chance but the field goal was blocked. That was a game changer because there should've been a 15 yard penalty on the defense which would've given the Vikings a first down and could have possibly scored a touchdown. The Seahawks then drove down the field and scored a touchdown to seal the game. The final score would end up 21-7. To me this was a terrible loss for the Vikings. If they want to make the playoffs, they need to turn this thing around quickly.
