For the first time since 2009, the Minnesota Vikings are the NFC North champions after defeating the Packers 20-13 in Green Bay Sunday night, January 3rd.
Effective this Friday, Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson will be allowed to participate in team activities, after being reinstated by the NFL Thursday afternoon.
Amidst growing public pressure, the Minnesota Vikings have changed course and deactivated Adrian Peterson, placing him on the exempt/commissioner's permission list and making him unavailable for the foreseeable future.
It was the regular season home opener today at the temporary home of the Minnesota Vikings, TCF Bank Stadium, and despite the controversy, plenty of Vikings fans were wearing their #28 jerseys and supporting Adrian Peterson.
