For those who missed out, Brown asked Peterson in an interview if he thought LT was overrated. Then, AP made a remark about LT not being a great downhill runner, which really seemed to strike a nerve with the normally jovial Tomlinson. LT’s response would have one think he was going to come out on Monday Night Football and show the world that, according to his self-proclamation, he was the best running back in the NFL. Monday Night Football arrives. Peterson is sitting atop the NFL rushing ranks with 180 yards and three touchdowns on the week. The Raiders defense stopped LT with 100 yards less than Peterson gained in the second half of Sunday’s game and even though the Chargers beat the Raiders for the 12th straight time, the win was secured by Darren Sproles, not LT. LT was the best and his place in the Hall of Fame should be a no brainer, but his era maybe over for this once great player. It’s hard to feel bad for him, but he is not as strong and as fast as he once was.
