Vikings 49, Giants 17

The Vikings knocked off the Giants 49-17 tonight in Minneapolis.  This win improves the Vikings to 10-5 on the season, it also clinches a playoff spot for the Vikings for the first time since 2012.  Next weeks Vikings/Packer game will now be for the NFC North title.  Now the question becomes would you rather play the Seahawks at home (if they beat the Packers next week) or play on the road against the Redskins/Packers (if they lose to the Packers next week)?  Quite the quandary.  They are rounding into form nicely as they had down into the playoffs though.

Observations:

• The Vikings are finally starting to get healthy. 
• Has Teddy Bridgewater really passed for over 3000 yards this season?
• A healthy Harrison Smith makes a world of difference. 
• The Giants looked like they didn't want to be playing tonight. 
• Adrian Peterson is well on his way to another rushing title. 
• The Vikings still need to get better in the Red Zone. 
• That Giants onside kick didn't work out too well for them did it? 
• Turnovers:  Giants 3, Vikings 0
• Danielle Hunter is going to be a beast when all is said and done. 
• Brian Robison is heating up at the right time for the Vikings. 
• I'm guessing Blair Walsh can't wait to be kicking indoors again. 
• Teddy Bridgewater's throwing motion is not textbook form.  
• Tom Johnson has been pretty solid along the DL for the Vikings. 
• Wherefore art thou Charles Johnson? 
• It looked very cold in Minneapolis tonight. 
• What the heck has happened to Brandon Fusco this season? 
• This could have been the Vikings last game at TCF Bank Stadium. 
• The Vikings had really struggled on Sunday Night Football before tonight.
• The Giants were rightfully without Odell Beckham Jr tonight. 
• Up next?  @ Green Bay Packers next Sunday night.
