Peterson upbeat despite Redskins' O-line injuries

ASHBURN, Virginia -- Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson, in the midst of a career rejuvenation, had a natural reaction to his offense's injury news Monday. The Redskins lost three starters, two of whom helped open holes for some of his 600-plus yards in the first half of the season. It could change the direction of not only the Redskins' season, but determine his success as well.

"Me and my friend Maker's Mark, we had a long night," Peterson said.

But Peterson knows whiskey isn't the answer to what ails the Redskins. More success from him, however, would be the antidote to their problems.
