Vikings save season with close victory over Falcons
This game turned into a shootout as two red-hot quarterbacks faced off in Christian Ponder & Matt Ryan. Each threw for over 350 yards and a couple touchdowns, while Ponder threw one more than Ryan. Adrian Peterson accounted for 150 yards total and 2 total touchdowns, and ended up being the decisive touchdown at the end.
The key play was made by Chris Cook, who popped the punt returner of the Falcons, and recovered the fumble at the 1 yard line, setting up the game winning touchdown.
The Vikings move to 8-7, and need one more win to be back in playoff contention.
