Adrian Peterson fell nine yards short of breaking Eric Dickerson's single season rushing record of 2,105 yards. He did, however, manage to rush for 199 yards and carry his team into the postseason.
After the early games saw Chicago and New York win, the Minnesota Vikings officially must beat the Green Bay Packers if they want to see the postseason.
The Vikings' running back can become the seventh player in NFL history to surpass 2,000 yards in a season with 102 yards against the Packers. He needs 208 yards to break Eric Dickerson's record for rushing yards in a season.
