GREEN BAY, Wis. — The joy that Adrian Peterson felt following the Minnesota Vikings' victory over the Green Bay Packers to win the NFC North overshadowed the tightness that the NFL's leading rusher felt in his lower back.
The injury knocked Peterson out for a stretch of the second half of the 20-13 win Sunday night over Green Bay.
It doesn't sound like he has any intention of missing next Sunday's home wild-card playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks.
"It's a little tight, but I'll be OK," Peterson said. "Now I've just got to get up early tomorrow morning, I'm not looking forward to it, and I've got to do what I've got to do to get ready for Sunday.
