Adrian Peterson sure appears to be completely back from knee and ankle injuries, so it’s time for the Vikings to rely on him more, especially in key situations: Early in games and on third-and-short, which happens to be two of the shortcomings of late.

Vikings' Jared Allen and Buccaneer Donald Penn got into it after this play. Jared ended up without his helmet and blood dripping from the top of his nose.
