Christopher Gates has been the lead writer at The Daily Norseman since the site launched in July of 2006, covering the Minnesota Vikings day in and day out.

The Vikings found themselves down by 21 at halftime following a disastrous first half performance, and it didn’t get much better from there as their season ended at State Farm Stadium in Glendale with a 27-9 loss to wrap up the Wild Card round of the playoffs.
