ATLANTA – Adrian Peterson had a pair of touchdown runs as the Minnesota Vikings rebounded from a disappointing loss a week ago to regain a one-game lead in their division with a 20-10 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
Peterson carried the load with 158 yards rushing on 29 carries.
The Vikings’ victory, coupled with Green Bay’s loss to Chicago on Thanksgiving, puts Minnesota back on top of the NFC North with five weeks to play.
Tom McCarthy and Ross Tucker called the action on Westwood One.
