Minnesota Vikings
Adrian Peterson (Running Back): Peterson failed to hit 100 yards against this stiff Cardinals run defense but he did find his way into the end zone for his 100th career touchdown. Peterson had 23 rushing attempts for 68 yards and caught 1 pass for 17 yards.
Stephon Diggs (Wide Receiver): Diggs was absolutely blanketed by Patrick Peterson all game long. Diggs could not find any separation as the rough weeks continue for this former waiver wire superstar. Diggs saw 7 targets but only managed to catch 2 of them for 12 yards.
Arizona Cardinals
Michael Floyd/ John Brown/ Larry Fitzgerald (Wide Receiver): What a big night for Floyd and Brown. For those wondering who the most dominant wide receiver in this offense is, you can stop wondering, it's Michael Floyd. Floyd was absolutely dominant recording 5 receptions out of 9 targets for 102 yards and a touchdown. He led the Cardinals in targets and finally looks like he is back to 100 percent full health. Brown caught 4 out of 5 targets for 78 yards and a touchdown. Brown's touchdown came on a 65 yard bomb by Carson Palmer; Brown is looking like the main deep threat in this offense. Fitzgerald had the quietest night of them all even though in the game he made a huge impact. Fitzgerald helped make a monstrous block that got Michael Floyd into the end zone. Fitzgerald also dropped a sure touchdown pass in the end zone.
David Johnson (Running Back): Johnson had a terrific game against a tough Vikings defense. Johnson gained 92 yards on 19 rushing attempts. He may have failed to get into the end zone but still managed to haul in 5 out of 7 targets for 31 yards.
Carson Palmer (Quarterback): Palmer had somewhat of a shaky game to start. He almost threw 3 interceptions however luckily the Vikings secondary dropped them each time. Palmer finshed the day completing 25 out of 35 passes for 310 yards and 2 touchdowns. Palmer may just be the best quarterback in the NFL this season.
