Dan gave the Vikings' Adrian Peterson the Grape Nuts' Got It Done Award. Peterson ran for 180 yards despite getting so sick he needed an IV.
Here's a snippet from the SI.com game story on Peterson ...
The league's leading rusher last season scored on a pair of 1-yard plunges and capped his day with an electrifying 64-yarder in the fourth quarter, breaking five tackles along the way, to make it 34-13.
Peterson was held to just 25 yards in the first half, when he needed treatment for a badly cut left arm. He felt light headed and received intravenous fluids at halftime.
''I gagged myself a couple times trying to get everything in my stomach out,'' he said. ''Normally it makes me feel better and it did. I came in and got an IV and felt recharged and rejuvenated and was ready to go to work.''
On his long TD run, Peterson used a devastating stiff arm to get away from would-be tacklers before finally busting free and scoring.
''It was pretty good,'' Peterson said. ''The only thing I did wrong was that I didn't go untouched. I was just determined to get into the end zone, and try to stick that dagger in.'' |
