Adrian Peterson
Minnesota Vikings star running back Adrian Peterson has been having one of the best seasons of his career this year and it seems he is showing no signs of stopping. During Sunday’s game against the Oakland Raiders in Oakland, Peterson finished the game with a whopping 203 yards and one touchdown, bringing his total yardage this season to 961 yards, in which he leads the league currently in rushing.
The play that got him over 200 yards rushing for the game was an 80-yard rushing touchdown that won the game for the Vikings over the Raiders. With this play, Peterson has tied Hall of Famer O.J. Simpson for the most games with 200-yards rushed in NFL history.
Peterson, who missed all but one game last year due to child abuse charges bestowed upon him, has had a stellar career since being drafted in 2007 by the Vikings. His breakout year was in 2012 when he rushed for 2,097 yards for the season and was nine yards away from breaking the single season all-time record set by Eric Dickerson, but would eventually win the NFL MVP award.
