Both the Vikings and Buccaneers are tied for first in their respective divisions, and this matchup could have postseason tiebreaker implications down the road. Minnesota enters the game ranked fifth in the NFL in rushing, while Tampa Bay has the league's No. 11 rushing defense. Much as the Bears broke from their Cover 2 scheme by regularly moving SS Mike Brown into the box to stifle the Titans' run game last week, the Bucs may have to take some riskson defense. Tampa generally has been tough against the run in base schemes, but it may have to weaken its back-end coverage in order to put the wraps on RB Adrian Peterson.
