Vikings vs. Falcons: What's the Game Plan for Minnesota?
Week 12 of the NFL season is already three games deep, and each of the three all-NFC Thanksgiving matchups could not have turned out much better for the Minnesota Vikings.
The Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys lost to the Detroit Lions and Carolina Panthers, respectively, pushing both teams further out of wild-card contention at the cost of wins for a pair of teams that hardly affect Minnesota.
On a more important note, the Chicago Bears—who are quietly becoming NFC contenders in their own right—knocked off the Green Bay Packers, effectively ruining Brett Favre's ceremony and giving the Vikings an opportunity to regain first place in the North outright.
