Adrian Peterson Reminds NFL That He Is the Best Running Back in the League

When Adrian Peterson returned to the field in Week 1 of this season, it wasn't your typical game.

Peterson and the Minnesota Vikings were playing the second leg of the Monday Night Football doubleheader against the San Francisco 49ers. The Vikings would lose heavily against a 49ers team that has since gone into meltdown mode.

The Vikings rebounded from that game and, after 12 weeks of the season, sit atop the NFC North with an 8-3 record.

If you told Vikings fans that this would be where they sit on that night in San Francisco, they likely wouldn't have even entertained the idea.
