The Oakland Raiders traveled from west to (almost) east and defeat the now 2-8 Vikings. The Vikings got off to a great start as Adrian Peterson rushed for his eleventh touchdown of the season. Unfortunately, Adrian left the game in the second quarter with an ankle injure. Christian Ponder was left to try and win the game in the air, but the rookie threw two costly interceptions.
The Raiders maintained their one game lead in the AFC west with the victory. Michael Bush had another 100-yard rushing game and Carson Palmer was an efficient 17-23 with 178 yards passing and a touchdown.
