Life comes at you fast, and for Adrian Peterson, Father Time swooped into U.S. Bank Stadium and sent him a rough message. His record for rushing yards in a Vikings rookie debut was broken by the guy on the other side of the field, Dalvin Cook.
Cook, taken in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft by the Vikings, looked just as explosive and comfortable as he did at Florida State en route to rushing for 127 yards on 22 carries.
Peterson's record of 103 yards looked safe as the Vikings were trying to ice out the game, but Cook flashed his trademark speed around the corner on his final run of the night, ripping off a 33-yard run that allowed the Vikings to take knees and end the game.
