After his week 14 performance, I have to name Tarvaris Jackson as the player of the game.

He came in in the second half and played as well as could be asked.  He was 8-10 for over 100 yards, and he led the Vikings on 2 TD drives and 1 field goal drive.  He had a [...]

The Vikings-Content Quake player of the game this past Sunday was Ryan Longwell.
 

 
You know, I heard it said one time that you really only notice a kicker when they’re doing bad.  I can see where that holds true most of the time, but on Sunday I noticed that Longwell was the bright spot on a [...]

Okay, so yeah, this one was a no brainer.
 
My player of the game for this past Sunday is obviously Adrian Peterson.
 

 
   -30 rushes for 192 yards.
 
   -3 catches for 33 yards
 
Those stats alone are good enough for him to be player of the game, but Vikings fans saw something in Adrian Peterson that we’ve never [...]

Well, the Vikings won, which means it’s time for the Player of the Game

 
This one was easy for me.  The Week 9 Player Of The Game for the Vikings was without a doubt Jared Allen.
2 Sacks
 2 Credited Hurries
1 Forced Fumble
He probably should’ve been credited for half a sack when Kevin Williams got the sack.
He had [...]

Picking a Player of the Game for Week 6 was tough.  It came down to 2 people for me.  First, I’ll mention the guy that [...]

Without question, the Content Quake Player Of The Game for Week 5 has to be Antoine Winfield.  The Vikings corner played amazingly well on coverage, blitzes, and field goal coverage.
 
His heads up play to return a blocked field goal for a touchdown early in the game changed the momentum, and possibly saved the Vikings from [...]

I thought I’d start picking my own player of the game for the Vikings games, so here goes my first one.
 
The obvious choice (and a very good one) would be to name Antoine Winfield as the player of the game for Week 3.  His fumble recovery and ensuing touchdown was very likely the momentum shift [...]
