At the time, Minnesota Vikings QB Tarvaris Jackson accidentally knocking knees with RB Adrian Peterson during a seemingly routine handoff last week was an amusing incident, but seemed like no big deal.

Both players reeled to the turf, then hit the sideline while the Vikings defense took the field. They should probably let Jackson start playing a little defense?
