in their 30s.So he asked Washington Redskins legend John Riggins how he dealt with it."He was like Womens Laquon Treadwell Jersey , 'I'm taking care of my body and I have that mindset of you still got it and that determination. Most importantly, playing real hard,'" Peterson said. "Those are some of the same things that keep me going. It's always good to get confirmation from guys who have done it before."Peterson is confirming to everyone else in the NFL he's still got it. His 236 yards are good for fifth in the league, only three players have more than his three touchdowns and the 33-year-old's contributions are one of the biggest reasons the Redskins are 2-1 at their bye week.Washington went into training camp hoping second-round pick Derrius Guice would take the majority of the carries and work in tandem with third down back Chris Thompson.Guice tore his ACL in the preseason opener, the Redskins sought an answer and signed Peterson, who has so far been better than expected after injuries cost him much of last season."He fell into our lap at a critical time, we needed a player, and he was there for us," coach Jay Gruden said. "He is everything as advertised."Peterson came advertised as one of the most prolific running backs in history, but someone who hadn't put up 1,000-plus yards since 2015. His workout — where he gave the Redskins no choice but to sign him over Jamaal Charles and younger back Orleans Darkwa — was the first indication Peterson could still run "All Day" as his nickname suggests.His 26 carries for 96 yards and a touchdown in the opener at Arizona gave way to a rough Week 2 when Peterson had just 20 yards on 11 carries behind a banged-up offensive line. Running for 120 yards and two TDs on 19 carries Sunday in a blowout of Green Bay didn't just revive hope in Peterson, but opened up the possibility he could be the Redskins' workhorse all season."I hope so," Peterson said. "It felt good to get out there and get into a rhythm, establish and be physical and get some nice chunks. If it's not broke, don't fix it."Even the best running backs' bodies break down typically at this age http://www.thevikingsfootballauthentic.com/andrew-sendejo-jersey-authentic , and Peterson looked as if he was no different. He tore the meniscus in his right knee and strained a groin muscle in 2016 and had a season-ending neck injury in 2017.The fact Peterson was off from last November until the Redskins signed him is a testament to his ability to stay in shape and reinvent himself."It definitely inspires me," said Dalvin Cook, who succeeded Peterson as the Minnesota Vikings' starting running back. "He's just one of those backs that don't come around too often: big, physical, can run fast, he's starting to catch the ball. He's just a different back, different mentality. You try to put yourself in his shoes, but sometimes you just can't."Only Peterson knows how he feels 141 regular-season and playoff games into his career. As he continues to climb the all-time rushing list — he's 10th and 227 yards back of Tony Dorsett for ninth place — he thinks less about the players he's passing and more about how to prove doubters wrong about him."I can't change people's perspective and how they feel," Peterson said. "People are still saying, 'Hey, guys can't do it over 30.' The only thing I try to do is be an example to let people know that, 'Hey, you can.' You can break through the box. It's all about your mentality and of course taking care of your body and having that faith."AP Pro Football Writers Dave Campbell and Howard Fendrich contributed. We are less than 24 hours away from kickoff between the Minnesota Vikings and the New Orleans Saints from U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. This game is going to have the spotlight all to itself on Sunday Night Football, so it shouldn’t be too difficult for anyone to find, but just in case you need some help Youth Mike Hughes Jersey , we’re here for you.Television InfoAs we said, this one is going to be featured on Sunday Night Football on NBC. In the Twin Cities area, your NBC affiliate is KARE-11. For everyone else. . .well, there’s no map. You have NBC, whatever channel that is in your area. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:20 PM Central, and your announcers will be Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth.For everyone in Canada, it would appear that this game is going to be on TSN.If you’re watching from the United Kingdom, it’s going to be a late one for you. The game will be on Sky Sports, specifically on Sky Sports Action and Sky Sports Main Event. Kickoff is set for 12:20 AM Monday morning United Kingdom time.For our men and women in uniform overseas, the American Forces Network will be showing this one live, likely because it’s Sunday Night Football and they really haven’t got a good excuse not to show it. Whatever the reason, this game will be airing on AFN Sports, and coverage will start at exactly 0000Z on Monday. That means a kickoff time of 0100L for fans in Central Europe, 0430L for everyone tuning in from Afghanistan, and 0900L for viewers in Japan and Korea.Radio InfoIf you’re not going to be anywhere near a television for this one Womens Danielle Hunter Jersey , you’ll be able to hear the call from Paul Allen and Pete Bercich on the Vikings Radio Network. That link goes to a list of Vikings Radio Network affiliates across the Upper Midwest. See if yours will be carrying the game. There are a couple of other places you can find it online as well, including the TuneIn radio service as well as the KFAN site (if you’re on a desktop or laptop computer only. . .it won’t work on phones or tablets).For those that have satellite radio, you can find the Vikings Radio Network feed on Sirius Channel 83. If you have XM Radio, you can hear the game on XM Channel 225. If you should prefer it, there will also be a “neutral” broadcast from Westwood One on SiriusXM NFL Radio, Channel 88. If you’re using the SiriusXM Online App, the Vikings’ permanent home there is Channel 819.Referee InfoAccording to the folks from Football Zebras, the officiating crew for Sunday night’s contest will be led by Craig Wrolstad. The last time the Vikings was Wrolstad’s crew was in the regular season finale in 2017, as his crew handled the Vikings’ 23-10 victory over the Chicago Bears at U.S. Bank Stadium.Weather InfoObviously, the weather won’t be affecting the game itself, but according to the folks from WeatherNation, you might want to bring a jacket or something if you’re planning on tailgating. The high in the Twin Cities will get into the lower 50s with some light winds out of the northwest, and by the time you’re ready to head home, the temperatures will be closer to 40 degrees.Streaming InfoWith this being a Sunday Night Football game, you’ll be able to stream things legally at NBC Sports.There are several other legal subscription services that are available in order to stream the game legally. Among them are Fubo.tv Womens Dalvin Cook Jersey , USTVNow, and Sling TV. If you’re overseas, your best bet is going to be NFL GamePass.Since it has recently been brought up, I want to make it perfectly clear that streams from Reddit or other places are not. . .I repeat, not. . .legal. If you’d like to argue about that, you can argue it somewhere else, because the moderators won’t listen to that garbage. Until Reddit, or anywhere else, has a deal with the National Football League, those streams are illegal and not welcome to be put up on this site. If you want to use them, go find them on your own and don’t be plastering them in the comments section here unless you’d rather not be in the comments of the Game Thread. . .or any other thread. . .here at DN.That should be all of the information you need in order to keep track of all the action from U.S. Bank Stadium between the Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints on Sunday afternoon. We’ll have our Open Thread for the first quarter up about an hour before kickoff or so, and we hope that you’ll join us here for all of the fun!
