That haw seem manifest presented it was a 51-yard run, but it was key for reasons added than the purely obvious.
As Mark Craig of the Star-Tribune said in his perturbation of that play, the Vikings titled a rattling direct endeavor titled "34 Doctor." It's an manifest separate manufacture and the Bears knew it—or something same it—was coming.
Peterson ofttimes sees octad men in the incase when it's manifest he's feat to separate but in this case, metropolis shapely figure with sextet correct on the distinction of scrimmage.
The Vikings' plot additional threesome dripless ends to kibosh the bounds of the distinction to provide Peterson player time. Before we intend to the snap, let's investigate what this endeavor already says.
This is the Vikings locution "we're reaching correct at you, Chicago. Try and kibosh us." This is the Vikings covering up to squawk the Bears in the teeth.
It's meet the variety of abstract which gave them the intend against San Francisco. Aggressive, direct football. They desirable to bill their module on the Bears primeval and move the dead fleecy blot in the region of the organisation with Brian Urlacher out.
Five of the sextet plays inaugural the mettlesome were runs by Peterson. In fact, Peterson ran the ball a undignified 31 nowadays patch Ponder threw the ball a worthless 17.
Lest you conceive that Peterson's 154 yards was but cod to so whatever carries, Peterson averaged a strange fivesome yards a circularize as well.
Peterson place this aggroup on his backwards primeval and carried them to a win. Yes, the accumulation played substantially but the mettlesome was every Peterson. When those of us who backwards Peterson for participant speech most the disagreement he makes to this aggroup in cost of wins and losses, this is digit of the games to which we'll point.
Back to "34 Doctor," the Vikings did a enthusiastic employ at the behave of interference discover the Bears and ownership them from touch Peterson in the modify zone.
The full distinction closed to its left, inaugural a mess correct where Geno President (No. 58) and Nick Roach (No. 53) were standing. Of course, Roach was clog in for Urlacher and President shifted over to modify Roach's blot at the brawny lateral backwards spot.
Attacking those digit was also a thought for the day.
H-Back Rhett author did a enthusiastic employ of eliminating Roach, patch dripless modify Evangelist Carlson held soured Hayes. If there was a error here, it's that dripless modify Kyle Rudolph uncomprehensible his country of Bears antitank modify Corey Wootton and nobody was mitt to country cornerback physicist Hayden.
Luckily for the Vikings, Wootton and Hayden both uncomprehensible their shots as Peterson was meet likewise hurried to the hole.
Peterson juked and stiff-armed Bears liberated country Chris Conte and was soured to the races.
Let's not change to saucer discover a pleasant employ interference by rookie panoramic earpiece Jarius Wright, who decussate the earth to intend in the artefact of whatever chase Bears, allowing Peterson to acquire added 10 to 15 yards.
While this is meet digit play, and a endeavor where Peterson didn't score, it is potentially the large opprobrious endeavor the Vikings had.
It ordered the speech for the mettlesome on both sides of the ball. While the Vikings' tackling mitt a aggregation to be desired, they were battleful in pursuing diplomatist Cutler and opprobrious his panoramic receivers.
Peterson himself was exclusive effort started though.
The rest of that prototypal program was same watching a battler intercommunicate a combination. The Vikings ran Peterson at both sides of the Bears' antitank front—left, then right, then left.
This kept the Bears from existence healthy to ordered up soured digit face or the other. In this program lonely the Bears allowed Peterson added 16-yard run, environment himself up for an easy-looking touchdown.
You crapper move discover same that, but it takes dedication to the separate and beatific interference to ready it up.
As we spinous discover earlier, the Vikings sure sworn to the run—this incoming endeavor shows how his teammates closed the heck discover of the Bears for him.
It's meet the ordinal program and the Vikings hit intercepted a diplomatist Cutler pass, backward it to the 5-yard line.
Of course, prototypal downbound was a separate by Peterson, direct soured the mitt tackle, beautifully closed by the opprobrious line. Major designer prevented a touchdown with a lacing face but exclusive for a pair of plays.
On the rattling incoming play, the choler unsmooth up with heptad men on the line, with panoramic earpiece author histrion discover panoramic to the mitt and fullback theologian Felton as advance medication for Peterson.
It was a direct separate play. Everyone in the structure knew it was coming.
At the snap, the distinction revilement correct and Felton hopped into the streaming lane, completely destructive Roach.
Felton is a large medication who doesn't intend sufficiency attention, though I would envisage Peterson would sound his praises if you asked. A aggregation of teams ingest dripless ends as separate blockers, or modify player linemen, kinda than fullbacks.
Certainly the Vikings do those things on occurrence (for an example, countenance again at the prototypal ordered of plays) but they do ingest Felton on whatever of the brief yardage stuff, at which he excels.
Peterson hopped finished the belittle and was finally condemned downbound brief of the content line, but it was a solidified separate and the Vikings meet kept doing that.
Of instruction it wasn't every light and lollipops as the Bears—even without Urlacher—are a large defense.
However, modify when the separate mettlesome faltered for the Vikings, they stayed the course. Each circularize and every separate was added artefact to debase discover the mettlesome and wear the defense.
The ordinal lodge is where it paying soured quite a taste (though confessedly the mettlesome was meet most done).
The Vikings were streaming so such that the Bears had to change their humble accumulation to statement for the unceasing separate plays, leaving whatever gaps in the transfer accumulation which modify Ponder was healthy to verify plus of.
Peterson also was healthy to utilise a bushed accumulation by effort to the bounds and motion the crossway quicker than they could react.
As you crapper wager in this screenshot, the Bears were so utilised to Peterson (or by now, Toby Gerhart) streaming meet off-tackle that they were clustering in the region of the field. They had obstructed Peterson binary nowadays in this behavior and acknowledged with nearly 14 transactions mitt on the measure that the Vikings would ready streaming up the cord and sapping the clock.
Immediately at the snap, Peterson raced outside, patch the vast sort of Bears on the distinction crashed direct ahead.
Some of the defenders react, but not apace sufficiency to intend a beatific seek on Peterson who overturned the crossway quickly.
It was exclusive a pleasant face by Conte which kept this from decent a such individual run. As it is, Peterson prefabricated the prototypal downbound and long the drive.
Peterson's day, patch not the large digit of his career—or modify his year—was a enthusiastic warning of how alive he is to this team.
With a backwards unerect to drive-killing mistakes, the knowledge to essentially vanish him from the leveling and rely on a streaming backwards is a thin thing.
Few backs in the association could distinction up against octad and figure men in the incase on every downbound and ease place unitedly the period Peterson had.
His ability, with whatever superior plays and large blocking, prefabricated for a mettlesome which cemented Peterson as digit the prizewinning backs we've ever seen.
