The expectation for Monday night's game between the Saints and Vikings was a heavy dose of Adrian Peterson, who was returning to Minnesota for his first-ever game as a player for someone other than the Vikings.
That ... did not happen. Midway through the third quarter, Peterson had just five carries for 16 yards. As one might expect, he was less than thrilled about the situation.
Peterson was spotted by ESPN cameras walking down the Saints sideline behind coach Sean Payton, giving him major-league side eye, presumably because he has been seen more on the sidelines than on the field.
