 The Vikings dominated from start to finish in a 49-17 romp over the
Giants that set up a celebration at U.S. Bank Stadium.
Minnesota (10-5) is now tied with Green Bay (10-5) atop the NFC
North and will face the Packers in a season finale next Sunday that
will decide the division.
"We knew what this game meant. We’ve put ourselves in position to
take the title next week," said Minnesota running back Adrian
Peterson who finished the game with 104 rushing yards and a score.
"It would mean a lot (to win the division)."
The Vikings have not captured the division since 2009 and are
looking to end a five-year reign by the Packers.
Minnesota fell to Green Bay 30-13 in a Week 11 matchup but enter the
finale as a confident group while the Packers seem to be searching
to find offensive rhythm.

"We know there's a lot on the line but we have to face this game as
if it’s just another game," said Vikings quarterback Teddy
Bridgewater.
"We’re looking forward to it."
