Record-setting

Adrian Peterson set the NFL single-game rushing record yesterday with 296 yds, 1 yard more than the previous mark set by Jamal Lewis. This in his eigth NFL game. Peterson had a lot of hype at Oklahoma, but I can't say I ever bought it. But now he's being compared to backs like Jim Brown, Gale Sayers, etc. All rolled into one. Excessive? Surely, but he's been very impressive and has to be the leading contender for Rookie of the Year.
