Adrian Peterson said he's never felt more disappointed as an NFL player than he was late Monday night after his fumble in overtime set up Chicago's winning touchdown in a 36-30 Bears victory at Soldier Field. I was rooting for the guy to get the ball in the crunch the whole time because I got tired of seeing Favre throw the ball. So when he does get the ball on a short pass what does he do? He fumbles and gives the Bears the ball and they kick the go-ahead field goal in OT. It was Peterson's seventh fumble of the season and the sixth that he's lost. None was bigger than this. At least he took fault for it saying, "I'm sick right now," he said. "I'm very disappointed. I really feel like I lost this game. We were in position to win the game, and I gave it away." But now you have to question later in the crunch time do you want him in. Personally, I still say yes because of how hard he was running but fumbling is no excuse. He does not want to be known as the back who was a home run threat but could not hold on to the ball. Trust me I am a running back, I should know.
