The Vikings had no choice but to be aggressive in the fourth quarter Sunday against the Broncos. Down 10, Minnesota went for it on fourth-and-1, and Adrian Peterson delivered a 48-yard touchdown run.
From Brian Murphy of the Pioneer Press:
The Broncos and their No. 1-ranked defense stymied the always-dangerous running back, holding him to 28 yards on 10 first-half carries. Famine, famine, feast is Peterson's mantra, and the Vikings' offensive line overturned the buffet table on a crucial fourth-and-inches play at midfield early in the fourth quarter.
Bursting through a gaping hole at the line, Peterson raced 48 yards untouched for a touchdown that give Minnesota a pulse though Denver ultimately prevailed 23-20.
