Jim Souhan grades the Vikings

November 30, 2015 at 3:44AM

OFFENSE

Souhan's grade: B

Adrian Peterson was relentless but Teddy Bridgewater threw one bad interception and didn't get the ball downfield.

DEFENSE

Souhan's grade: A

Mike Zimmer's bend-don't-bend-too-much defense rarely looked spectacular but hemmed in Falcons QB Matt Ryan and NFL receiving leader Julio Jones.

SPECIAL TEAMS

Souhan's grade: B

Blair Walsh missed a long field goal but made two. Not much to see here.

COACHING

Souhan's grade: B

Some of Norv Turner's calls, like Matt Asiata up the middle on third-and-5, were puzzling, but the run game worked against a stacked front.
