If any of you have been paying attention to the NFL this season, you know one thing, it’s been a year for comebacks. Peyton Manning of course has been the big story, but one Adrian Peterson has been the most remarkable.
We are still under a year from seeing Peterson crippled on FedEx Field in Marylans, and with Peterson on pace to break the single season rushing mark, watching him play this season has been absolutely amazing, and watching him run wit purpose and determination is something you don’t get a whole lot anymore in sports.
A lot of athletes don’t look like they’re playing for anything these days, Peterson is running for history and he wants it, bad. Even if the Vikings don’t make the playoffs, I will be watching the Vikings intently these next two weeks, because its something you just don’t get anymore.
