Madden 2005 Update! In the Playoffs!

The Minnesota Vikings finished at an impressive 16-0 on the year, dominating on both sides of the ball. I was playing on "Pro" level, so next year, I might have to bump that up to "All-Pro." But then, I'm a stats man -- I love to dominate every catagory on both sides of the ball. Here are some of my stats from Year 1 on Madden 2005.
