People were starting to whisper that Adrian Peterson’s 224 yard, 3 TD performance against the Bears was nothing but a fluke – more the result of luck and poor Bear tackling than Peterson greatness. Those whispers were all silenced today though, as Peterson ran roughshod over a previously stout San Diego Chargers’ defense, compiling an NFL record 296 yards and scoring 3 TDs in leading the Vikings to a 35-17 rout.

Peterson’s performance was made all the more remarkable by the fact that, at halftime, he was having only a so-so game – 43 yards and 1 touchdown. He must’ve taken some Superman pills in the locker room though, because on the Vikings’ first possession in the 3rd he busted one for 64 yards and a touchdown, and would end up posting a staggering 253 second-half yards and scoring a third TD for the game.
