Peterson rushed for an NFL-record 296 yards in a 35-17 victory over the San Diego Chargers on Sunday.</div></p> He's also the first rookie to have two 200 yard rushing games in a season. Pretty amazing stuff.</p>
I thought he was going to be good, and as in good I mean a top3 rusher year in year out, but I didn't think this soon.</p>
That's unfair. They played a horrible defense. It sucks that he just edged J-Lew's record by one. Congrats and I wouldn't mind seeing him in the 2000 yard club anytime soon.</p>
Well, to be fair, if he wasn't sharing carries, he'd probably be injured at this point. He carried 30 times yesterday to Taylor's 9. He also had a reception for 19 yards. Combined total touches, Peterson's getting 75%.</p>

And I reallydon't think you can say it's "unfair" either. Because, the Browns D Jamal ran on that yr was truly horrible. He had 500 yrds in 2 games that season.</p> And as a Ravens fan having to deal withJamal's ineffectiveness last few yrs, I really could careless it was broken. Peterson's ridiculous. Few weeks ago when he had 220 something, I was hoping he'd get it then.</p> </p>
