12:21 PM ET 12.30 | The Minnesota Vikings play the Green Bay Packers in Week 17 with more on the line than just a playoff berth. Adrian Peterson currently stands at 1,898 rushing yards on the season, marking him just 102 yards away from hitting 2,000 yards. Also in play is Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing record, but that will necessitate a huge day from Peterson. The record is 2,105 yards, which means AP is 208 yards away from breaking it.

He got over 200 yards the last time they played. Doubt GB is gonna let him loose again.

As a Vikes fan, I think he will break the 2000 barrier but the record will be tough. But, then again, Green Bay has "laid down" for records before....

While not being a Vikes fan, I would like to see him hit a couple of milestones. Not only for the historical aspect, but just because they're playing the Packers.

I'm a Bears fan and want to see the Packers beat the Vikings or our season is over.

Really? When did the Packers lay down for any players record.
