[Vikings] Adrian Peterson Denies Dispute Led To No Touches

Asked if he was surprised not to be on the field for the Vikings' final offensive drive in a 19-13 loss at Tampa Bay on Sunday, Pro Bowl running back Adrian Peterson responded: "Did it surprise you?" The answer, of course, was a resounding yes. Peterson said the fact he was not playing was not the reason Fox television cameras caught him and running backs coach Eric Bieniemy in what appeared to be the end of a heated sideline exchange late in the game but Peterson did not elaborate on what caused the disagreement but downplayed its significance. "During a game it's really tense out there," he said. "We bump heads here in the facility, out there during a game. It's part of it. I guess they just caught it [on television]. ... It's kind of like being in a relationship. It's not always going to be good, but if you're able to solve whatever the issue is, it will be all right."
