Vikings Fail to Keep Up With the Saints

With the Saints losing again this weekend, the Vikings saw a chance that could land them Home Field Advantage for the Playoffs. They would have to win their last two games and New Orleans had to lose their last game. The Vikings went into Chicago and were terrible in the first half. But in the second half, they made a comeback slowly but surely that would tie the game at 30 all when Favre hit Sidney Rice in the end zone with less than 30 seconds to go. Overtime came and they lost. After a miss field goal by Gould and a couple more possessions, the Vikings Adrian Peterson fumbled the ball and the Bears got it at the Vikings 39 yard line. The very next play, Jay Cutler threw a great 39 yard pass to Aromashodu for a TD and the Win. The Bears won 36-30.

The Vikings now can't win Home Field Advantage in the Playoffs and are now in trouble for the #2 seed. The Cowboys, Cardinals, and Eagles could steal the spot from them. This may be one of the most exciting season finales ever. Maybe even better than Idol's Finales. Meanwhile, Jay Cutler proved he can be a great QB in this league with his 273 yards passing, 4 TD passes, and one INT. Though he leads the NFL with INTs, he could still throw a great game. That is something for the Bears to think about for next year.
