Adrian Peterson did not touch the ball on the Vikings' first two series Sunday, but the Pro Bowl running back wasn't being punished for his critical fumble last week. I mean they really didn't need him after playing the Giants (who I can't remember if they showed up or not). Vikings coach Brad Childress described it as a product of the game plan, but Peterson had a relatively light workload in a 44-7 victory over the New York Giants at the Metrodome. Peterson rushed for only 54 yards and one touchdown on nine carries, which tied for the fewest carries in his career. Peterson had vowed to bounce back after his fumble in overtime last Monday. I am sure he will get his chance seeing as the playoffs are coming up and all. He should just be focused on making up for that in a game that means something unlike this past weekend.
