Adrian Peterson sets sights on NFL rushing records

Adrian Peterson missed nearly the entirety of the 2014 season, which to some might dash his chance to possibly break Emmitt Smith's all-time rushing record.

However, the Minnesota Vikings running back believes the all-time mark of 18,355 yards is still reachable.
