The Minnesota Vikings face their biggest challenge of the young season when the San Francisco 49ers visit Mall of America Field for a NFC match-up that has the potential to have a lot of Viking fans speaking their minds on social media, and you'll be able to catch all the action right here.
September 12, 2012 Vikings rookie kicker Blair Walsh was named Special Teams Player of the Week for the NFC. Walsh went 4-for-4 on field goals in his NFL debut. Controversy has been circling him and the team since former kicker Ryan Longwell was cut.
September 10, 2012 A fully made-up Gene Simmons will be out on the field singing the National Anthem for the Oakland Raiders tonight. That leads to two questions, will he spit blood after the performance and why is he solo and not with the rest of the band?
Coming off a 3-13 season the Vikings needed to get off to a winning start this year, and thankfully for them they had the Jacksonville Jaguars in town for the 2012 regular season opener at Mall of America Field, another team in the midst of a rebuilding with young talent.
After an anemic start, the Vikings led by second year quarterback Christan Ponder and running back Adrian Peterson did what appeared to be enough to solidify a win, until a dramatic turn of events with less than 30 seconds left in regulation time threatened to put the Vikings in the loss column to start the season.
