Derrius Guice, Adrian Peterson show promise in Redskins' run game

CHARLOTTE -- At one point in the fourth quarter, Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson waved off fellow back Derrius Guice, who respected his elder. It was easy to see why Peterson did this: The Redskins ran all over Carolina and Peterson wanted in on more of the action.

Peterson and Guice combined to rush for 228 yards as the Redskins upset Carolina, 29-21, on Sunday. Guice rushed for two touchdowns and Peterson added another -- the first rushing touchdowns since Bill Callahan took over as the interim coach in Week 6.
