MINNEAPOLIS (Ticker) -- Adrian Peterson's mere presence seemedto inspire the Minnesota Vikings.


After missing two games with a knee injury, Peterson rushed for116 yards and two touchdowns on just 15 carries as the Vikingscoasted to a 42-10 victory over the fading Detroit Lions onSunday.


Sidelined since suffering a torn lateral collateral ligament atGreen Bay on November 11, the rookie still leads the NFL inrushing despite sitting out the two contests.


Sunday marked the sixth time in 10 games that Peterson has goneover the century mark. That includes an NFL-record 296 yardsagainst the San Diego Chargers on November 4.


Chester Taylor, who started in Peterson's absence the last twoweeks, chipped in with 70 yards and a score on 14 carries.

Tarvaris Jackson tossed a pair of touchdown passes for theVikings, who kept the Lions reeling with a 35-point first half.

Minnesota pulled even with the Lions in the NFC North at 6-6 butthe teams are heading in opposite directions.


The Vikings have won three straight and four of five, while theLions have dropped four in a row following a 6-2 start.

Detroit closed to 14-10 on Jon Kitna's 1-yard TD pass to CaseyFitzsimmons with 9:41 remaining in the first half.

But any hopes of the Lions staying in the game quickly ended asAundrae Allison returned the ensuing kickoff 103 yards for atouchdown.


The electrifying run was part of a 28-point second quarter, asJackson threw TD passes of 6 yards to Bobby Wade and 15 yards toSidney Rice in the final 2:22 of the period.


Peterson added a 15-yard TD run just under five minutes into thesecond half to make it 42-10.
