Sometimes so do entire halves of football games.
A vivid illustration of this occurred the last time San Diego visited Minnesota in November 2007 when Vikings Offensive Coordinator Norv Turner was Chargers head coach.
Adrian Peterson was limited to 43 yards on 13 carries in the first half of his eighth pro game. What’s more, the Chargers went into the locker room riding high after Antonio Cromartie returned a missed field goal an NFL record 109-yards for a touchdown and 14-7 lead.
Peterson, however, unloaded 253 yards on 17 carries in the second half for an NFL-record 296 rushing yards.
