Peterson had a nice run for 75 yards, yet was caught from behind by a defensive end. Glad you asked. Let’s take a look. “‘If there’s egos, or issues, they don’t come to me”.

The Vikings have lost 13 of their last 14 games in Chicago. The Bears intend to keep that streak alive and the Vikes are looking to put an end to the futility. The Bears’ run defense has been surprisingly good this year, but they’ll face their toughest test of the season on Sunday. At 4-2, the Vikings are a wild-card threat in the NFC and have a coach in Zimmer who commands the locker room. Diggs, though, vowed to check out a few highlights of the player who averaged a staggering 24.3 yards per catch in 1987 while helping lead the Vikings to the NFC championship game. The Jets offense can never be relied on to score 30 points a game, but if the defense can hold its own, then there’s no reason why the offense can’t help them squeak out a win this weekend.
The Vikings need to thwart Bears running back Matt Forte’s momentum immediately. The Bears have not said whether Rolle will play on Sunday, and the veteran safety admitted his injury is something he will have to deal with all season. Floyd was having an outstanding season, but the Vikings have a capable starting-caliber player in nickel pass rusher Tom Johnson…. Vikings top cornerback Xavier Rhodes should be a good match for Jeffery physically, but Rhodes leads the league with four defensive pass interference penalties and ranks second with four defensive holding penalties. In 1969 and 1974, quarterbacks completed passes to 12 receivers. Adrian Peterson is leading the offense with 530 rushing yards and three touchdowns while Teddy Bridgewater has thrown for 1,339 yards and five scores. He has struggled to anchor up the middle at times in the first six games of the season, and the Vikings will likely look to attack him early in the game.
Jay Cutler runs hot and cold. The key is to spark as many of those meltdowns as possible, and that starts with applying pressure.
The Lions did a good job of holding Peterson in the first half last week.
Especially when he lines up against the Bears. Minnesota has endured such an odd string of experiences at Chicago road games, and it makes Vikings fans-including myself-pretty gun shy. That’s 11 straight games without a touchdown against the Vikes.
Forte, 29, is now fourth in yards from scrimmage and sixth in rushing yards through six games in 2015.
Peterson is allergic to shellfish and has known about it since 2012. Diggs has been the team’s most consistent pass-catcher over the last three weeks and their biggest playmaker. He’s arguably coming off his best game as a pro.
You should know the back story by now: On Sunday, FOX – broadcasting the Vikings’ Week 7 matchup against the Lions – reported that Peterson had been downgraded to questionable after he swallowed tobacco dip during a bumpy flight to Detroit.

“It’s like the lottery”, said offensive coordinator Norv Turner.
