When a 109 yard field goal return TD is the 2nd most remembered thing about a game, you know someone did something special.

Adrian Peterson took the league by storm when he arrived

[Terror]

Crazy how a rookie broke the single game rushing yard record.

And it will never be broken with RB by committees taking over the modern NFL.

[Gungho]

That horse collar tackle likely stopped this record from being even bigger.

[melvinshine]

296 yards is beyond impressive to begin with, but he did almost all of it in the second half.

[samu-eljackson]

Similar to Kobe's 81, most of the damage was done in the second half. R.I.P. to Tavares and Vincent Jackson.

[jonathanwilliams]

R.I.P. Vincent and Tarvaris Jackson. 💔💔💔❤️❤️🕊🕊🙏🏿🙏🏿

AP was really in a league of his own. Same with LT. Both of these guys are all-time greats. But AP had the whole package. Height and muscle, speed, elusiveness, guy was built like a tank but moved like a guy half his size.

I remember this like it was yesterday .. i was 10 years old at the time. Thanks NFL for the nostalgia and great memories eith my my dad 😢

[Fireyninjadog]

Keep in mind, AP did this as a rookie

[mangos]

I was in college and working as a server in 2006. AP came in with his Dad and had dinner at my table. Adrian was super nice and had a huge smile on his face the whole time. I thought it was him but was too nervous to ask. When he paid using his card, it was confirmed. I still remember that huge smile. 😂

The Vikings rushing attack in this game was otherworldly. I think Taylor had over 100 yards rushing in addition to Peterson's 296, and Peterson also had some receiving yards for more than 300 yards of total offense alone.

[fantasticvoyage]

Dierdorf had the perfect comment about Childress after the missed FG return.

[topicbaseball]

LT vs Adrian Peterson, this game has to be one of the best RB matchups ever

[qceaz]

R.I.P. To Both Of The Jackson Boys Tavaris & Vincent Both Talented & Both Gone Too Soon🙏🏽😪

[yaslerfuj]

If he didn't get horse collar tackled, didn't have Taylor take those runs in the 4th, and run into a damn ref he could have damn near hit like 330+

[bleeperton]

I think AP had the single greatest rushing season EVER. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he had only like 7 less total yards than Eric Dickerson's record, and yet he had about 50 leas carries. Absolute monster!

(Coming from an "unbiased" MN native)

[keithmorgan]

What made this more impressive was the fact that the Chargers actually had a good run defense to this point in the season.

[jakebrake]

The most talented running back to ever play the position. Literally the best ever. Fight me.

[justrawyall]

Set the rushing record with a backup QB. The Chargers knew they were going to run and still couldn't stop it
