(Week 15) Cincinnati Bengals vs. Minnesota Vikings

(5-9)
(11-3)










VS.
Recap: Vikings 34 Bengals 7
Nothing much to see here, just your run of the mill ransacking of the Bengals by a superior team. Case Keenum channeled Brett Favre for some of the best passing in a purple jersey since 2009. The Purple People eaters chowed down on the Cincinnati offense, limiting the Bungles to only 8 first downs and 161 total yards. The big stories coming out of this game, however, transcended the field of play. Marvin Lewis, longtime coach of the Bengals and former NFL Coach of the year, announced his intent to leave the organization at the conclusion of the season, which may be why they played like absolute trash here. Meanwhile, Teddy Bridgewater made his emotional return to the field after the injury that took him out for a season...only to throw an interception on his first throw. Oh well, it was still nice to see. Minnesota has cliched the NFC North, and without Wentz, the future of the Eagles seems up in the air. The NFC playoff race is heating up: get the popcorn.
