PANTHERS vs VIKINGS Watch Live Stream Online & Listen: Week 6 Live Coverage from Minnesota

At 1:00 p.m. the Minnesota Vikings (1-3) will host the Carolina Panthers (1-3) in a game that will be played with heavy hearts, and the thought of Vikings running back Adrian Peterson's slain two-year-old son on everyone's mind. The game can be live streamed here; Panthers fans can hear the game on WBT 1110 AM, while Vikings fans may do the same on KFAN 100.3.

News broke last this week about Peterson's presence in South Dakota dealing with a "tragic" family emergency. It was later revealed that his two-year-old son, still unnamed, was beaten by the mother's boyfriend and rushed to a hospital in critical condition. Doctors later removed him from life support.

Peterson returned to practice Friday and vowed to play while asking reporters to respect his privacy during this heart-wrenching time. "Football is something I will always fall back on," he said. "It gets me through tough times. Just being around the guys in here, that's what I need in my life, guys supporting me, and just being able to go out and play this game I love."

The Vikings picked up Buccaneers castoff Josh Freeman this week as competition at quarterback, although Matt Cassel will start this week. "One thing you can expect in the NFL: expect the unexpected," Cassel said. "Because every week it changes. You never know what's going to happen. I learned that over time. This is my ninth year now."

Meanwhile Panthers quarterback Cam Newton's up-and-down play has reflected in Carolina's uneven performances this season. "I think it's more on my behalf that I have to focus in and hone in on my skills and say 'Look, let me focus more in the second half and get the job done," Newton said.
