Bernard Berrian returned a punt 82 yards and caught one of Tarvaris Jackson's four touchdown passes Sunday, boosting the Minnesota Vikings past Arizona 35-14. The Vikings (9-5) won their fourth straight and stayed a game in front of Chicago in the race for the NFC North title.

EDINA, Minn., Dec. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Vikings wide receiver Bernard Berrian can thank actor, singer and performer Will Smith for the touchdown dance he hopes to debut to fans during Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals.

Gus Frerotte passed for one touchdown and ran for another Sunday, helping Minnesota assume sole possession of the NFC North with a 34-14 win over Chicago. The Vikings had entered the game in a three-way tie with the Bears and Green Bay, who fell to Carolina. Frerotte earned a spot in the NFL and Minnesota record books when he hit former Bear Bernard Berrian for a team-best 99-yard score late in the second quarter that came on the first play after Minnesota stopped Chicago on four straight tries to get into the end zone from the 1-yard line.

Devin Hester raced past the New Orleans Saints and ended their bid for a return to the playoffs. Hester sprinted 64 yards for a touchdown on a punt return, his NFL-record sixth kick runback for a score this season to break his own mark set a year ago.

The Chicago Bears know how to make a Super Bowl memorable. They're making this one historic long before it's played. Dissed all season long, Rex Grossman and Co.
