Vikings Claim Wildcard Berth, But Peterson Narrowly Misses Record

With the help of Blair Walsh's 29-yard field goal, the Minnesota Vikings beat the NFC North champions Green Bay Packers 37-34 to secure a wildcard playoff berth. Minnesota's Adrian Peterson became the lone running back this season to rush 2000 yards, which also made him only the seventh player to do so. He had 199 yards and a touchdown in his team's victory, but could not break Eric Dickerson's single-season record of 2,105 yards.
