SAN FRANCISCO - Even with rookie sensation Adrian Peterson completely shut down by the 49ers, the Minnesota Vikings were in good hands as soon as Kevin Williams got his big mitts on the ball.

The Vikings' 311-pound defensive lineman returned an interception 18 yards for a touchdown on the game's first play, and Chester Taylor had an 84-yard scoring run in the Vikings' fourth straight victory, a 27-7 win against hapless San Francisco (3-10).
Robert Ferguson caught a 19-yard TD pass from Tarvaris Jackson, who passed for 163 yards. The Vikings (7-6) moved into the sixth spot in the NFC playoff picture by jumping to a 27-0 halftime lead with no help from Peterson. Peterson finished with a career-low 3 yards on 14 carries.
