Jim Souhan grades the Vikings

December 28, 2015 at 5:10AM

OFFENSE

Souhan's grade: A

Norv stuck with the run and was rewarded, and Bridgewater continued to be careful and productive.

DEFENSE

Souhan's grade: A

Zimmer's front pressured Eli into a horrid performance, and Smith's interception return for a touchdown broke the game open.

SPECIAL TEAMS

Souhan's grade: B

Walsh missed an extra point but was good from long-range, and special teams didn't matter much otherwise.

COACHING

Souhan's grade: A

Zimmer took apart a flawed opponent for the Vikings' biggest margin of victory in six years.
