ASHBURN — Adrian Peterson and Derrius Guice have a signal, one that lets the other standing on the sideline know when he needs a breather. But there’s also an understanding: They’re going to let each other work — especially if one of them is in a rhythm.
The two Washington Redskins running backs reinforced that give-and-take approach to playing time in Sunday’s 29-21 win over the Carolina Panthers.
“Hey, when you’re in there,” Peterson recalled telling his teammate, “you do your thing.”
Against Carolina, both backs did their thing.
