Every kid has had the dream, scoring the game-winning shot or touchdown or walk-off home run in the face of adversity. For the sake of this lead, you’d like to imagine that Jacob Peterson has had that dream once or twice this season alone, especially given Sporting Kansas City’s form over the last month and a half. Peterson entered Sunday’s game having only featured once and had struggled to make the game-day selection on several other occasions.
So again, you’d like to imagine he had the dream of reemerging — breaking through to earn his title, “The Answer,” and get Sporting KC back on track.
