Cardinals vs. Vikings final score: Dwight Freeney's sack clinches playoff spot for Arizona in 23-20 win on Thursday Night Football

First Half

After receiving the kick the Cardinals begin moving down the field with big catches by guys like Darren Fells and Larry Fitzgerald while using David Johnson's versatility to run the football. Down on the ten yard line, a close fumble and good Vikings pass rush caused the Cards to settle for a Catanzaro field goal.

Meanwhile, the Vikings offense played like they had solved the Cardinals defense and moved the ball at will. Adrian Peterson averaged 9.5 yards per run and exploiting the Cardinals poor pass defending linebackers with play action the finished with an incredible touchdown run by Peterson.
