The fact that Adrian Peterson is a beast and is smashing records seemingly every time he touches the ball has been a weekly story lately.
The people I have talked to seem to talk about the 9 yards Adrian Peterson missed the record which has made for a great talker week so far.
Some have said,” What if he could have a few more touches in Houston even though he was a little injured”?
There are those who add, “What if the Vikings would have risked playing overtime by giving Peterson just a couple more carries to get the yards”?
My thought what if he would have got 9 more yards, not scored, and the clock would have run out? What if the Packers would have won the game in OT?
We have a man who became just the 7th man in the NFL history to get 2000. The fact is he would be the man with the new record breaking Dickerson’s yardage and the team is sitting home, would it really mean as much? Yes, history would have been made, but what you here on TV from players is what they want is “The ring”.
One stat to think about with what Adrian has done is the month of December alone he gained 861 yards. LeSean McCoy, Philadelphia Eagles star running back, had 840 for the year. It is a fact like that which makes the year one for the ages.
It was late December last year we all watched Adrian laying on Fed Ex Field in Washington wondering just how bad the injury was. This man has set standards which demand hard work and a never quit attitude we can all take into out into our own livelihoods. Hard work can and does pay off just ask AP.
