2010 Super Bowl - Preview

Minnesota Vikings vs.

New England Patriots

The two most prolific offenses in the NFL go head to head in the biggest game in the NFL. Minnesota and New England take a trip south to Cowboys Stadium for Super Bowl XLV.

Keys for Minnesota:

Stop Tom Brady. Easier said than done, but throwing Brady out-of-synch with his receivers will go a long way in shutting down New England.
Run over New England. The Patriots run defense is less stout than it's pass defense, and powerhouse back Adrian Peterson should be able to exploit that, and keep NE's offense off of the field.

Keys for New England:

Establish Passing Attack Early. Running up the score early in the game will force the game to be just like the regular season Minn vs. NE match-up, where quick scoring takes AD out of the game as the Vikes will be forced to play catch-up quickly.
Limit turnovers. If Minnesota runs the ball more, with a turnover or two they can easily win the time of possession battle, keep Brady off of the field and have a good shot at winning this one. The Patriots cannot risk letting that happen.
Force turnovers. If New England can force the Vikings to be one-dimensional like they did during the regular season match-up, it should be smooth sailing for the Pats to a confetti-laden victory.
