Adrian Peterson’s acceleration through a colossal hole and ability to cut quickly without breaking stride provided the Vikings with a 48-yard touchdown without being touched by a defender.
The offensive line properly executed a combo block by Matt Kalil and Brandon Fusco to Peterson’s left while center Joe Berger sealed to the right. They made it look easy against the defense that entered the game leading the league in total yards allowed and sixth in passing yards allowed.
The explosive play might have overshadowed all the obstacles the Vikings overcame earlier in the possession that started at their own 3-yard line.
