Latavius Murray, Vikings running back

If there was a hole, Murray found it and made the most of the opportunities. He scored twice and rushed for 95 yards.

Adam Thielen, Vikings receiver

Don't get bored with routine excellence. Thielen had one drop, but he also caught six balls for 123 yards and a TD.

Terence Newman, Vikings cornerback

He made a critical stop on third-and-1, defended passes and finished with four tackles. He's also 39 years old.
