Adrian Peterson crosses the 1,000 rushing yard mark once again

A year after missing all but one game, not much was known about how running back Adrian Peterson would perform for the Minnesota Vikings during the 2015 season.

Peterson responded by leading the NFL in rushing with 1,485 yards in 2015 and earning a First-Team All-Pro selection for the fourth time in his career. That was also the last time in which the veteran running back ended a season with at least 1,000 rushing yards.

At least, that was until Saturday.

As a member of the Washington Redskins this year, Peterson only needed 77 more rushing yards against the Tennessee Titans on Saturday to cross the 1,000 yard mark for the eighth time in his career.
