Adrian Peterson shows bounce, moves toward more milestones

LANDOVER, Md. -- He looks like a younger running back. He keeps passing old ones.

The Washington Redskins' Adrian Peterson showed once more Sunday that life exists in those 33-year-old legs, enough to provide reminders of his past while postponing rumors of his demise.

Take his 41-yard run in the Redskins’ 31-17 win over Green Bay on Sunday. He needed a jump cut in the backfield to avoid quick pressure. Then he found a hole to his right. Then another jump cut and a bounce to the outside. Then a foot race for a long gain.
