Doing what the Vikings did here normally isn't the right call. But Adrian Peterson isn't a normal guy, and if you got to make a touchdown with less than 10 seconds left, no timeouts, and a Christian Ponder, you'd take your chances. The gamble worked here as Peterson took the QB draw and dove his way into the end zone to close the half down 24-17 against the Packers.
The Packers would go on to light up the Vikings in the ensuing two quarters with Minnesota's own biggest weapon—the run game. James Starks and Eddie Lacy combined for over 150 yards as the Packers lead the Vikings 41-24.
The Packers ended up winning, 44-31.
