Adrian Peterson is likely to win his third NFL rushing title on Sunday night, but he expects that every year and expects more in the coming years.
Adrian Peterson may have surprised some of his doubters with his quest for a third rushing title this year – you know, after most of last year off and turning 30 years old and such – but he is perhaps the least surprised person on the planet.
For Peterson, it’s an expectation, not a pipe dream. Now, with one game left, he’s in position to do that. He has a 64-yard lead on Tampa Bay’s Doug Martin and more than a 300-yard lead on anyone else.
