The Minnesota Vikings played their best football of 2009 as they rolled over the Seattle Seahawks for their ninth victory of the year.

Brett Favre completed a career high 88% of his passes on Sunday.  He was 22 of 25 for 213 yards and four touchdowns. 

FOX interviewed Bernard Berrian, Sidney Rice, Percy Harvin, and Visanthe Shiancoe (Shankopotomus) prior to the game.  Favre made sure to reward them each for doing good interviews by throwing each of them a touchdown pass.  Sidney Rice got another from Tarvaris Jackson in the 4th quarter.

T-Jack himself had a respectable outing in which he was 6 of 8 for 77 yards and a touchdown.  Some of his passes seemed off, and he was bailed out a couple of times by his receivers.

Adrian Peterson has a solid day rushing for 82 yards on 24 attempts, and also caught 4 passes for 16 yards.

The offensive line did a respectable job once the first quarter passed.  They did allow two sacks, one of which was blatant poor play in a one-on-one matchup Bryant McKinnie.  The line solidified as the game went on.

The defense was solid, though kind of quiet.  E.J. Henderson had a nice sack and Benny Sapp forced a fumble that quickly went out of bounds, otherwise all the big defensive play happened in garbage time.  Asher Allen showed fantastic awareness in the games only interception and Husain Abdullah had a nice sack.  Ray Edwards wasn’t as noticeable as last week, but he had a very good outing, leading the team in tackles with 6.

Special teams were a mixed bag.  Darius Reynaud had pretty solid game, returning 2 punts for an average of 10 yards.  Ryan Longwell and Chris Kluwe were solid, but hardly a major part of this game. 

Percy Harvin averaged 17 yards on 2 kick returns, including one where he made a curious move.  The Vikings were playing for the onside kick, but they decided to kick it deep where Harvin turned his back to it expecting an automatic touchback.  The ball bounced out of the end zone and onto the 2 yard line.  For a second it looked like this could’ve been a scary moment, but Harvin picked up the ball and brought it out to the twenty where he was tackled.

The Vikings were a very cohesive group in all phases of the game.  It felt like 60 minutes of solid play (even when the backups were in) for the first time this year.  A job well done make the Vikings 9-1, and one step closer to winning the North.

Thanks to all that participated in the live blog, it was fun (even the person that pretended to be me for a quick second, though I didn’t like that).

Whether or not you stop back between now and Thursday, I would like to wish all of our readers and their families a very happy Thanksgiving.

Go Vikes!
