Streak stopper: Return TDs spark Vikings, 30-24 over Cards (Yahoo Sports)

Xavier Rhodes returned one of his two interceptions 100 yards for a touchdown and Cordarrelle Patterson took the second-half kickoff 104 yards for a score in Minnesota's 30-24 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday that stopped their four-game losing streak. The Vikings (6-4) used those momentum-shifting plays they'd been missing to hold onto a first-place tie with Detroit in the NFC North, with a rematch against the Lions looming in four days. Danielle Hunter had two of the team's four sacks, the most by the Vikings since their most recent victory six weeks ago.
