Minnesota needed most of the game to figure out how to stop quarterback Robert Griffin III and the Washington Redskins, but Adrian Peterson and the Vikings finally rushed off their home field a winner. Peterson ran for 75 yards and two touchdowns, and the Vikings forced Griffin into three consecutive incompletions from the 4 in the final seconds to hold on for a 34-27 victory Thursday night in Minneapolis, Minn.
