08:01 AM ET 12.21 | Both Adrian Peterson and J.J. Watt are running toward history this season, and having them on the same field Sunday provides an interesting sidebar to Vikings-Titans. It's the NFL's fourth-best rushing offense vs. the No. 5-ranked run defense, one that has allowed the league's fewest touchdowns on the ground (three). The Vikings are ready, said right guard Brandon Fusco. "We've seen every look -- eight-, nine-man fronts. Whatever they throw at us, we're going to be able to block it," said Fusco. ... "He's special. Probably the best we're going to see. But we're ready to get after him. It's a fun challenge for us. Go out there, be physical with him and do what we like to do best: run the football right down his throat, basically."

Really? I figured they'd try and throw it around with their elite quarterback.

Doesn't matter who the Team is, AD will run over them. Bears had a good defense, too.

With a lackluster passing game the person or persons who wrote this article hasn't been watching to much football lately. Even the Texans know the only chance the Vikings have in winning this game is to run AP and turnovers.

Peterson says he wants to break the season record in this game as well as his own single game record. All i one fell swoop. Are you going to doubt him?

I guess it's fair to say Watt won't be getting many sacks or batted balls in this game.

Glad the Vikings have done well, but very impressed with Adrain Peterson coming back from his operations and being a BEAST this season...

Back in the days of Lawrence Taylor, it was common knowledge that the way to deal with a strong, mobile defender was to go right at him. Take away his mobility as a factor, and force the slower guys on either side to move and assist with the tackle. Keep subbing on the O-line so he wears down and your line stays fresh. By the third quarter, AD should be able to pop through for a couple of long ones.
