About The Minnesota Vikings

On his way to leading Minnesota to the NFC Championship game, Favre (363 of 531, 4,202 YDS, 33 TD) recorded a franchise record 10 games with a passer rating of 100+, while surprisingly also having ended the season above the century mark for the very first time in his career with a 107.2 total. Supporting Favre, team-leading wide receiver Sidney Rice (8 TD) became the third player in team history to reach 80+ receptions (83) and 1,300+ receiving yards (1,312) in a season, along with former Viking superstars Randy Moss and Cris Carter, while running back Adrian Peterson – arguably the best in the NFL – rushed for 1,383 yards and 18 touchdowns, with the touchdown total setting a Vikings record for a single season. Additionally, while also having become one of Favre’s “go-to” guys, Visanthe Shiancoe (56 REC, 566 YDS) set the club record for touchdowns by a tight end with 11, while combo wide out/kick-return man Percy Harvin set a team rookie record with 2,081 combined yards (135 yards rushing; 790 yards, 6 TD receiving; 1,156 yards, 2 TD returning kicks) in addition to his 60 receptions setting a Vikes rookie record as well. Even with the loss of versatile third-down backup running back Chester Taylor (338 YDS, 1 TD rushing – 389 YDS, 1 TD receiving) to Chicago, this is still an explosive offense that can attack on the ground or through the air, and from anywhere on the field!

The Minnesota Vikings defensive unit is driven by defensive end Jared Allen (50 tackles, 6 for loss, 5 forced fumbles, 1 interception) who not only tied his career-high of 14.5 sacks, but also leads by example, playing at only two speeds – fast or faster – and never seeming to take a single play off! Inside Allen, stuffing the middle at the defensive tackle positions are the two Williams boys, Pat and Kevin, who are not related in any other way than having the knack of making it nearly impossible for opposing teams to run up the middle; Pat is the 10th leading tackler with 2 sacks and a team-leading 6 tackles for loss, while Kevin adds 6 sacks in addition to be being tied for the team lead for passes defended (7). Filling out the team leaders are linebacker and leading tackler Chad Greenway with 99 tackles (80 solos, 19 assists), linebacker E.J. Henderson (83 tackles – 2nd on team) who leads with 20 assisted tackles and 6 tackles for loss, while third-leading tackler (78) cornerback Cedric Griffin led with 4 interceptions, defensive end Ray Edwards (8.5 sacks – 2nd on team) had 6 tackles for loss, and safety Tyrell Johnson topped the passes defended column along with Williams at 7.

If Brett Favre returns in 2010, without a doubt this team will once again be ranked amongst the NFL’s elite and considered a Super Bowl contender. But even if Favre doesn’t come back, there are still Adrian Peterson and Jared Allen – arguably two of the best at their position – left to lead this team to the top once again.
