The Minnesota Vikings have secured a place in the postseason, playing as if they're poised for more than a token appearance. Adrian Peterson ran for 104 yards and a touchdown over three quarters, Harrison Smith took one of Eli Manning's three interceptions into the end zone and the Vikings clinched at least a wild card spot with a 49-17 victory over the listless New York Giants on a frigid Sunday night. Teddy Bridgewater turned in another sharp December performance, Blair Walsh chipped in five field goals and the Vikings (10-5) set up an NFC North championship game next week at Green Bay.
