Adrian Peterson's remarkable comeback season now has a magic number to punctuate it. He  became the seventh player to rush for 2,000 yards in a season, plowing through the Green Bay Packers for a 20-yard gain that put him over the top in the third quarter Sunday. He finished with 199 yards and a touchdown in the 37-34 victory, leaving him nine yards shy of Eric Dickerson's single-season record. Here's what some of his season looked like.
