Peterson (back) is active for Sunday's wild-card contest versus the Seahawks.

Analysis:

Peterson will brush off a lower back injury with the Vikings' season on the line, but his least productive outing occurred in a Week 13 beatdown versus the Seahawks, who contained the 2015 rushing champion to eight carries for 18 yards and four receptions for six yards. A throwback performance will be required to upend the back-to-back NFC champions.
