The Vikings, while not looking quite as strong as in recent weeks, nevertheless took care of business on Monday Night Football last night, defeating the Bears at the Dome, behind two touchdowns from Adrian Peterson, two win their fifth straight. Purple Jesus' showing also clinched me third place in my fantasy league's final standings.
In winning, the Vikings moved closer to a playoff spot and singlehandedly eliminated four teams: the Bears themselves, the Lions, the Cardinals... and the Eagles. Sorry, Philly. The Vikes play nationally again, next Sunday night, against Todd Collins and the barely-alive Washington Redskins.
