OFFENSE
Souhan's grade: C
Adrian Peterson ran with authority against a tough D. Teddy Bridgewater was occasionally effective, but overall not enough points.

Excellent open field tackling saved the day.
SPECIAL TEAMS
Souhan's grade: B
Blair Walsh has made 15 straight, including the game-winner Sunday. Jeff Locke needs work on pooch punts.
COACHING
Souhan's grade: C
Didn't like lack of timeout at end of first half or play calls inside two minutes at end of game, but decision to defer in overtime won the game.
