From Prince to Jim Brown, Minnesota memorable for Adrian Peterson

ASHBURN, Va. -- At one point during the Washington Redskins win against Miami in Week 6, linebacker Jon Bostic took a moment to give teammates a history lesson. What he saw from Adrian Peterson that day reminded him of what he experienced as a rookie playing against Peterson.

In 2013, Bostic, then a linebacker with the Chicago Bears, played against Peterson when he rushed for 211 yards in a Minnesota Vikings win. The power and the will with which Bostic saw Peterson play against Miami -- he rushed for 118 yards -- reminded him of what he saw six years earlier.
