Minnesota Vikings. 15. team. 60. . 6-4.

Remember when Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford and wide receiver Stefon Diggs were the hottest combination in the NFL?

Well, that might not be the case heading into Week 12. But Minnesota pulled off a much-needed win over the Cardinals on Sunday, winning 30-24 in the process.

That score might indicate the Vikings offense was really good. But this unit mustered only 217 yards of total offense, which points to some of the issues Minnesota might face down the stretch.

Sacking Arizona quarterback Carson Palmer four times sure made a difference. And the Vikings will square off with the Detroit Lions in Week 12 to determine the real leader in the NFC North.
