LANDOVER, Md., -- Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson, inactive a week ago, moved up on an all-time list today.
Peterson moved into fifth place on the all-time rushing touchdown list, snapping a tie with Jim Brown, after his 1-yard touchdown run in the second quarter vs. Dallas. Peterson, running out of I-formation, was stuffed for no gain on first down but muscled through for the score on second down.
Peterson got the start Sunday, a week after he was a healthy inactive in the season opener at Philadelphia. But with running back Derrius Guice on injured reserve, Peterson returned to the starting lineup.
