NFL Playoff Preview: Minnesota Vikings

After winning their final three games of the regular season, can the Vikings pull off an upset against the soaring Seahawks?

As the 2015 NFL season began, the Minnesota Vikings were delighted to welcome back 2012 MVP Adrian Peterson. It was unclear how much Peterson would impact the team’s hopes of making the playoffs, but after Peterson won his third rushing title alongside second-year quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, the Vikings surprisingly won the NFC North with a record of 11-5. This is their first division title since 2009 and third in the last 15 years. Although the team is surely excited to have won the division, the Vikings now have to face a red-hot Seattle Seahawks team.
