Vikings fans have come to expect excellent games from Adrian Peterson, but NFL.com’s Jeremy Bergman writes “just because he does it every week doesn’t mean he shouldn’t be commended for doing so.” The Vikings running back is already on pace for another Pro Bowl year, leading the league in rushing yards (1,164), attempts (237) and yards per game (105.8) despite missing all of 2014. He's single-handedly taken Minnesota to the top of the NFC North standings, and is running away with Comeback Player of the Year.
But most importantly, he’s playing his best in the most vital of games.
