Passionate Peterson

If there is one thing that Adrian Peterson is passionate about it is about being one of the best running backs in all of the NFL. Peterson did not look like one of the best running backs in all of the NFL last week against the Kansas City Chiefs. He’ll want to change that.

Peterson usually follows up crappy showings with some real showstoppers and there’s no reason to believe Sunday against the Lions will be any different. The Week Two matchup against Detroit saw Peterson scamper for a season high of 134 yards after just having 31 yards in Week One against San Francisco.

Last week, Peterson only had 60 yards and didn’t score in the victory over Kansas City. Peterson likes yards and scoring. It wouldn’t be shocking to see Peterson bust out for over 150 yards and a score or two in his attempt to redeem himself from last week’s showing.
