SID'S JOTTINGS

• Adrian Peterson on the Vikings' game with Detroit: "It's divisional games, and the ball really starts rolling. It's about how bad we want it. It's coming up in the second half and we're about to see how bad we really want this thing."

Hartman: Vikings thankful lucky stars fell

There's no question the Vikings would be in an even worse position than 5-4 if it weren't for the play of their two top offensive stars, running back Adrian Peterson and wide receiver Percy Harvin.

SID'S JOTTINGS

• Jared Allen talking about Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson and running back Marshawn Lynch: "[Wilson is] obviously loose in the pocket and creating passing lanes for himself, and I think the best thing they do is run the football. Marshawn Lynch, I think the last few games he's had over 100 [yards] and he's a good running back. We just have to sound up our fundamentals and get after the quarterback when we have a chance." The Vikings defensive end added: "It's going to be a fun game. It's another NFC opponent. I mean, you looked at the game and you thought it wouldn't be that bad and all of a sudden it's pretty tough. They are playing good ball right now, they lost a tough one last week, that team will be battling."

Hartman: Peterson remains confident in QB Ponder

Nobody defends Christian Ponder from criticism more than Adrian Peterson. As a running back, Peterson has to block on passing plays for the Vikings quarterback, and he will openly take the blame sometimes when last year's first-round draft choice is pressured or sacked.
