Today is the biggest game in Vikings franchise history since 41-0 beating the Giants handed us in division game a few years ago. When you take a step back and look at the season Percy Harvin stands out as the difference maker on offense that really makes this team click. Prior to working Harvin into the slot position the Vikings really used Harvin in a variety of different ways. As they became more comfortable with what Harvin could do he became an explosive game breaker type of player. In the middle of the season the Vikings used Harvin in a slot receiver and kickoff specialist the Vikings put up some huge numbers on offense.

Percy Harvin has some very unique abilities that seperate him from the rest of this years rookie class. At the University of Florida, Harvin had more yards rushing than he did receiving. He now brings this mentality to the WR position for the Vikings. He runs routes that are ordinarily run by position slot receivers and TEs, but when he catches it if the defender makes a mistake he can house it on you. This opens the field for Sydney Rice, Shancoe, and Berrian.

Now lets look at when the Vikings had a couple of bad games starting with Arizona. This is when Harvin had the problem with the migrane headaches. For the next 3 weeks he was not available. Not a coincidence that the Vikings lost 2-3. His ability to get return yards and thus better field position, stretch the field and open the lanes for everyone else is highly overlooked. As he got his legs under him in the Chicago game the Viking offense became high flying once again.

I do not know if the Vikings will beat Dallas today, but I think it is alot closer than what people are saying. This is not a Dallas blowout because Harvin will likely have a huge impact on the game. Expect great things from this guy in the future. He truely is a game breaker type of player and will be seen in the playoffs for many years to come.
