After his performance Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has picked up some in-season hardware:
The #NFL named #Vikings RB Adrian Peterson the NFC Offensive Player of the Week after his 23-carry, 153-yard performance.

Peterson, who sat out Tuesday’s practice, says he’ll be ready to play Thursday night against Tampa Bay at Mall of America Field. He also told the Pioneer Press that the Vikings should be undefeated this year. Undefeated? AP says it’s “no joke.”
