Brett Favre and Drew Brees have traded touchdown passes and Adrian Peterson has found the end zone twice in the NFC title game.

The Vikings and Saints are tied 21-21 in the third quarter.

Minnesota Vikings star running back Adrian Peterson could lose his driver's license after police clocked him driving at 109 mph - nearly twice the posted speed limit - on a suburban Minneapolis highway last weekend.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) -- Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson says his back injury is "not a big deal," meaning he should play Sunday against San Francisco.

Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson says his back injury is "not a big deal," meaning he should play Sunday against San Francisco.

Peterson was limited in practice on Wednesday because of the injury. He rushed for 92 yards and a touchdown last week against Detroit, and leads the NFL in rushing heading into the Vikings' home opener against the 49ers.

Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson was limited in practice Wednesday with a back injury. The NFL's leading rusher was listed on the team's injury report, three days after rushing for 92 yards and a touchdown against the Lions.

However, as per usual around here the Lions beat themselves. Leading 10-7 in the third quarter, it looked like the Lions were going to be able to beat Brett Favre and his less than impressive Minnesota Vikings.

Then Kevin Smith fumbled the ball the Vikings recovered it and that was it. The Lions were only able to add a field goal to their total, as the Adrian Peterson gave the Lions their 19th consecutive loss.

Six teams had a chance to select Adrian Peterson in the 2007 NFL Draft before the Vikings picked the OU running back.

The Detroit Lions have until 1 PM Friday afternoon to sell the four thousand remaining tickets for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings.

How sad is that? The Lions cannot sell out their home opener, the Lions cannot sell out a game against division rival, and the Lions cannot sell out a game featuring one of the best players, Adrian Peterson, in the league today.

Adrian Peterson has moved on from the Vikings' pursuit of Brett Favre. The rushing champ's focus is on another chase: becoming the sixth back to run for 2,000 yards, says Don Banks.
