Minnesota Vikings sign free agent Randall Cobb to 4 year deal
The Vikings have decided that they were weak in their 3rd and 4th string receivers last year, which really held them back in the Super Bowl. They have added Randall Cobb to a receiving corps that now features Percy Harvin, Victor Cruz, Randall Cobb, and Greg Childs.
Minnesota Vikings sign free agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick to 5 year deal
The Vikings take no chances on the injury-prone Christian Ponder's backup, and lock up Kaepernick to back him up. They sign him to a cheap 5 year deal worth 18 million.

Vikings fall to Browns in Super Bowl
What a bitter end to an amazing season by the 13-3 Vikings. Christian Ponder seen above, could only watch on the sideline as McLeod Bethel-Thompson, the inexperienced replacement, led his Vikings to the Super Bowl, and to a loss. The Vikings held close, by a late pick six by Cleveland ended the game.
The Vikings will walk into the offseason disappointed, but they no doubt could make a run next year. The talent on this roster could bring them back to the playoffs year in and year out.

Mistral Raymond, Adrian Peterson, heroes in Vikings victory, team headed to Super Bowl
A teary Adrian Peterson voiced to the crowd at Mall of America Field, "This is for you!" Adrian broke a 51 yard touchdown run to seal the Super Bowl berth with 4 minutes left in the 4th quarter. The Vikings defense was hot all afternoon, shutting down to explosive Falcons offense for the most part.
The Vikings will face either the Browns or the Chiefs in the Super Bowl.

Vikings defense dominates Packers in blowout victory
The Vikings offense played very slow in the first half, but because of the outstanding performance from the defense, it didn't matter. 5 interceptions of Aaron Rodgers forced the Packers into tough field position, not to mention great play from the special teams unit. One time all day the Vikings started on the 20, the other times, they were in Packer territory.
The Vikings defense showed its potential to cover the injuries that plague the offense. McLeod Bethel-Thompson did enough to lead the team to a blowout victory at the dome. The Vikings must feel great after this win, and await to see who their opponent will be in the championship round.
