Adrian Peterson didn't look like his usual self Sunday. Then again, he said no Vikings players did.
In the showdown for first place in the NFC North, Minnesota was handily beaten 30-13 by the Green Bay Packers at TCF Bank Stadium. After gaining 529 yards in his previous four games, Peterson had just 45 yards on 13 carries.
"The team you've seen (Sunday), it wasn't us," Peterson said. "It was out of sync, out of whack. They came and executed."
Peterson said the defeat reminded him of the Vikings' ugly 20-3 loss at San Francisco to start the season.
