    Peterson falls 9 yards shy of rushing record

    Falling nine yards of breaking Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing record, Adrian Peterson rushed a career-high 34 times for 199 yards and a touchdown and added a 2-yard touchdown reception to carry the Vikings to a 37-34 victory over the Packers in Week 17.
    Peterson ripped off five runs of at least 18 yards, including a 26-yard scamper to set up the game-winning field goal with three seconds remaining. Had there been more time on the clock, he would have been a good bet to bypass Dickerson with another touchdown jaunt. AD tied Earl Campbell with seven games of 150+ yards while his 2,097 yards on the season are the second-most in history (on 31 fewer carries than Dickerson). In the greatest stretch ever by an NFL back, Peterson totaled 1,598 yards over the final 10 games -- which still would have led the league this season.

    In the interview afterwards he showed super class by acting like it was no big deal. If the Texans would have given the Vikings a little battle last week, they would not have held him out the last 6 minutes and he would have had the record. AP should be the MVP because the Broncos were a playoff team with Tebow and Orton at QB. Vikings with no AP would not be a playoff team.

        If you listened to the post game shows, AP and his teammates actually thought he had broken the record, hence why they were carrying him off the field. In his post game interview, he looked shocked when the reporter told him that he was 9 yards short.

        It was still an awesome season. I wish he had broken the record. I hate Dickerson.
