Minnesota Vikings scouting report, courtesy of many different game breakdowns:

This game: a really nice chance for our pass rush unit to make a comeback tour. This offensive line of the Vikings is TERRIBLE. Even by Redskins OL standards.

Adrian Peterson is a complete player for the first time in his career. No fumbles yet this year. Chad Greenway is a tight end killer. Jared Allen no longer has elite pass rushing skills -- he will be the weakest rusher Trent Williams will have faced in his career.

Getting Sidney Rice back could be huge for Favre. Favre's biggest problem was that the Minnesota WRs were horrible, which really makes for a disaster scenario for a gun-slinger like Favre. If Rice gets deep to free up Harvin, Favre can still play a little bit. You need to beat the Minnesota WRs up at the line to fully enjoy the effects of the Brett Favre farewell tour. In this way, Peterson is a major problem, because he hasn't been the focal point of their offense, despite being their best player. You can lose track of him if you don't remember he's there before every play.

Minnesota's secondary is horrible. Their defensive line is deep and talented, but has underachieved all year. Percy Harvin is a really good special teamer, but outside of him those units are weak as well.
