ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Adrian Peterson's last game against the Broncos was so long ago that Denver's leading tackler that day was the same man who will be in the broadcast booth high above the 50-yard-line Sunday.
That Dec. 30, 2007 game between two teams playing out the string proved to be John Lynch's last regular-season game. Two of his nine tackles saw him wrap up Peterson, who didn't even start what proved to be a 22-19 Broncos win that concluded a desultory 7-9 campaign.
Peterson didn't play when the teams met four Decembers later; he was injured.
