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

WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED

— The Vikings flipped the script on the Lions yesterday with a 28-19 win by answering a challenge from coach Mike Zimmer. In the process they picked up their first road win against an NFC North rival in three years.

— Running back Adrian Peterson said it was some bad seafood, not a big gulp of tobacco juice, that threatened to sideline him against the Lions.

— Rookie sensation Stefon Diggs didn't keep the football after his first NFL touchdown because he figures that there are many more to come.

— Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was hit early and often against the Lions, but he finished the day with a season-high 316 passing yards.

— Linebacker Chad Greenway's sack was a turning point in the game.

BEHIND ENEMY LINES

— The Lions were back to their inept ways in their loss to the Vikings.

— The Lions offered quarterback Matthew Stafford up as a sacrifice.

— The Viking sent Stafford to the x-ray room again, but he says he's OK.

— Lions defensive tackle Haloti Ngata finally made an impact in the loss.

TODAY'S VIKINGS SCHEDULE

The Vikings will be back at Winter Park this morning for meetings and film review. Zimmer will hold his usual Monday press conference at 2 p.m.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

Diggs had another big day, but for the most part, Bridgewater, who completed 25 of his 35 attempts, spread the football around in the win. As Bridgewater pointed out in his postgame press conference, 11 different Vikings caught passes in the win. Six players had multiple catches, including one from rookie tight end MyCole Pruitt, who made his first NFL catch.
