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 Minnesota Vikings got two of the three things that they needed to clinch a postseason berth in Week 14. Unfortunately, with apologies to the late, great Meat Loaf, two out of three ain't good.

The Vikings blew out the Falcons by a score of 42-21 to secure their sixth consecutive win to move to 11-2. They also got the necessary help from the Seattle Seahawks, who defeated the Arizona Cardinals 30-18 in Sunday’s late window.
