Access Vikings morning walkthrough: Vikings turn the page with authority, AP's throwback performance, more

Every weekday, we walk you through what's going on with the Vikings.

WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED

— Following the lead of coach Mike Zimmer, the Vikings turned the page with authority yesterday by defeating the Lions in their home opener.

— It felt like old times as the Vikings rode running back Adrian Peterson to victory in his first game at TCF since his child-abuse charge last fall.

— Peterson wasn't the only player to use his legs to propel the Vikings to a win. Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater showed off some flashy moves, too.

— The run defense did a complete 180 against rookie Ameer Abdullah and the Lions after the 49ers rushed for 230 yards last Monday night.

— Six days after getting benched against the 49ers, Andrew Sendejo got the start against the Lions. And he actually played pretty well, too.

BEHIND ENEMY LINES

— Quarterback Matthew Stafford got his ribs battered, and the Lions got pummeled by the Vikings and are now in the NFC North basement at 0-2.

— The Detroit defense was one of the league's best last season. But so far in 2015, the Ndamukong Suh-less defense has been a sore spot for the Lions.

— Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson had 10 catches against the Vikings, but neither he nor any of his teammates could break free for a big gain.
