Redskins Respect Vikings Rookie Peterson

The Washington Redskins have their backs against the wall again Sunday night.  Washington needs a win for a shot at the playoffs.  The Burgundy and Gold are going into the den of a team that has won its last five games.  Rookie running back Adrian Peterson, who set the single-game rushing record with 296 yards, missed a couple of games with a knee injury, but is averaging more than six yards-per-carry.  Washington star running back Clinton Portis says he sees a lot of himself in Peterson.  The Vikes lead the league with an average of 169 yards on the ground.
