Case Keenum, Vikings quarterback

Nearly perfect, Keenum was 25-of-30 for 227 yards and two TDs. Pressured, but not rattled.

Harrison Smith, Vikings safety

Providing pressure, timely tackles and help with Julio Jones, all five of Smith's tackles were big.

Latavius Murray, Vikings running back

Using big holes opened by the line and powering on his own, Murray rushed for 76 critical yards.
