Jim Souhan grades the Vikings
December 19, 2016 at 4:50AM
You graded the Vikings on startribune.com/vikings. Columnist Jim Souhan weighed in, as well.
OFFENSE
Souhan's grade: D
Adrian Peterson ineffective, Oline still shaky, too many penalties
DEFENSE
Souhan's grade: F
Heart of the team showed no heart. Harrison Smith was sorely missed.
SPECIAL TEAMS
Souhan's grade: C
Kai Forbath was offensive MVP. Cordarrelle Patterson was unable to break a big play on kick returns.
COACHING
Souhan's grade: F
Force-feeding Peterson made little sense and the defense did nothing against a terrible offensive line. Worst coaching job of Mike Zimmer's head-coaching career.
about the writer
Mike Conley was in Minneapolis, where he sounded the Gjallarhorn at the Vikings game, on Sunday during the robbery.
