Four things we're talking about after the Minnesota Vikings' 27-10 win over the Detroit Lions on Sunday:
Keep gadget plays on the 'maybe' list
Vikings turn the ball over in first quarter when Adrian Peterson tries to pitch a reverse play to Percy Harvin. Minnesota was at its best when it kept things basic on offense.
Penalties pile up
Minnesota is whistled for 13 penalties totaling 91 yards. The yellow flags keep the Detroit Lions in the game and do nothing to help the Vikings, who look undisciplined following last week's bye.
