Fantasy Tuesday

The best overall run of the season so far was delivered by the one and only “All Day” Adrian Peterson this past Sunday. Peterson takes a routine dump down pass and absolutely flatens Steeler’s defensive back William Gay. Aside from being a sick play, the above clips serves as the perfect [...]
