Vikings...28 Packers...27

Adrian Peterson rushed for 192 yards and reached across the goal line with 2:22 left to lift Minnesota to a 28-27 victory over Green Bay, ending the Vikings’ five-game losing streak to the Packers.

Though he set an NFL record with 296 yards in one game during his rookie season, Peterson acknowledged this was his most satisfying performance. “We came in, knew it was going to be a dogfight, and we pulled it out,” he said.

Mason Crosby’s last-second 52-yard field goal attempt was just wide, helping the Vikings (5-4) pull into a tie with Chicago in the NFC North. Green Bay is a game back at 4-5.
