Adrian Peterson Injury: Vikings Star Could Return In December, Per Report
Share this: The Minnesota Vikings broke a four-game skid Sunday with a huge win over the Arizona Cardinals, and more good news might be on the horizon.

The top of the ninth was a wild roller coaster. Kris Bryant led off the inning with a single, and he later scored on a Ben Zobrist RBI double. Willson Contreras then singled in
