Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, on scoring on a 78-yard run on his first touch: “Perfect execution upfront. My fullback Zach (Line) was able to get up underneath him and he made a big block and it was off to the races.”

I saw that Zach caught a pass for 8 yards too.

that's a dangerous backfield, too bad their QB and WRs suck

Haha they really do.

I was concerned because Peterson got 79 yards on that TD, but had 18 carries for 91 total yards. That translates to 17 carries and 12 yards for the rest of the game. Where was his blocking the rest of the game?

The blocking was fine, but Detroit was putting 8 and 9 guys in the box. Ponder did not play well so they zeroed in on the run big-time
