Being the Best


Despite his popularity, Vikings running back Adrian Peterson doesn't act like a diva around Winter Park. But Peterson didn't mask his self-confidence in a conference call with St. Louis reporters. "Yeah, I play this game to be the best. Not only the best back, but the best player and that's how I look at it," said Peterson, who is second in rushing and third in yards from scrimmage. "If I looked at it any other way, I'd be cheating myself. Not only to narrow it down to running backs, but I feel like I'm the best player." Still, Peterson credited his offensive line for helping him on several occasions. "I am grateful and I know it comes along with my offensive line," he said. "Those guys really are the ones that open the holes for me and really pave my way. I've got the easy job - just run behind those guys."
