Just wanted to revisit my predictions (or here) and see how accurate I was for this game...

1) Adrian Peterson didn't make it to the 100-yard rushing mark. He was contained for 69 yards rushing [+1]

2) The Steelers intercepted Bret Favre only once and it was by Keyaron Fox, not Polamalu [-1]

3) The Vikings managed more than 100 yards (112) in the first half, but they did fare a lot better in the fourth quarter (165 yards) but no offensive touchdowns [-1]

4) The Vikings owned the ball in the last two minutes of the game, but did not win the game thanks to two defensive touchdowns [-1]

5) Fright Night had the same number of rushing yards as Adrian Peterson, but his yardage average was much better (6.9 yards per carry compared to Peterson's 3.8 average) [+1]

6) Big Ben had only 175 yards passing-- a huge disappointment against this 24th ranked passing defense [-1]

7) The Vikings definitely covered Ward and Holmes very well, but Wallace did not have a 100-yard performance (even if count his two end-arounds) [-1]

8) We sacked Favre 4 times [+1]

9) Big Ben was sacked 3 times, as predicted, and I would say all of them were for holding on the ball too long [+1]

10) I predicted, "Jeff Reed doesn't miss any field goals, then he goes out to celebrate after the game, gets drunk and punches a police officer in the face demanding him to dispense paper towels." Well... he didn't miss any field goals, but the night is still young [+1] He did miss a terrible tackle during a return that was taken in for a touchdown [-7 for Reed, because that's how many points that cost us]

So overall I got about half of my predictions right. The one I cared the most about was the Peterson rushing performance. Steelers stepped up nicely to contain him for the most part, but he totally blew up William Gay on that dump pass. Peterson is a sick, sick man.
