Lions-Vikings Week 10 review

In a 27-10 rout, the Vikings had a lot of good Sunday. Favre is now leading the league in passer rating with 107.5, Peterson and Harvin are leading the NFC in rushing and receiving respectively, while Harvin is leading regular kick returners in average return length.

All four players had a good game Sunday. Favre led the Vikings with a season high 344 yards and a TD, the third game this season with over 300. Peterson chipped in with 133 yards on the ground and 2 TD's, his third time rushing for 100+ this season. Peterson also averaged a career high 7.4 yards per carry, some of which were quite amazing. However, the biggest story of the game was Rice. He set a career mark for receiving with 201 yards, doing so on only 7 catches. Three of these catches went for more than 40 yards. Rice came 10 yards short of breaking the franchise record set by Sammy White. Harvin has an ok game with 3 catches for 53 yards, with his big 40 yard grab being converted into only a field-goal.

Another week, another win and another step closer to the Super Bowl. The Vikings' future looks promising. Skol Vikings!
