With all the focus on the Colts and Saints securing 13-0 records, the Minnesota Vikings' 30-10 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday probably did not get the headlines it deserved.
The Bengals arrived in Minnesota with one of the best records in the league and high hopes of handing the Vikings a third loss of the season. Instead, Adrian Peterson had a field day, running for 97 yards and two touchdowns, and the home side clinched a playoff spot.
Cincinnati's Chad Ochocinco was limited to one touchdown and just 27 yards and, despite getting 96 yards from running back Cedric Benson, the Bengals never threatened.
Vikings QB Brett Favre did not have his most productive afternoon but the Vikings defense and Peterson ensured it did not matter as Minnesota moved to 11-2. One more win - or a Green Bay loss - and the Vikings will secure the AFC North.
