AD just scored on a 60-yd TD pass. I don't know how exactly though.

It was a little swing pass to the right side. He juggled it a little, then went all the way down the sideline.

[Texas Golfer]

AD just scored on a 60-yd TD pass. I don't know how exactly though.

It was on a screen pass. AD bobbled the ball a couple of times before securing it and running down the right sideline.

He's having a great NFL premier.

Don't worry, some things are worth reading more than once, and that last post fits the bill.

[deweydw]

Just saw the highlight while watching the Texans. Once AD had control of the ball, you see him turn on the jets. Just awsome.

Put it on Fox. They will give NFC updates. I got to see AD's TD on replay. It was cool.

[RacerX]

19 car, 103 yds
1 rec, 60 yds, TD

[Paperclip]

AD scored Minnesota's only offensive touchdown. The other two were interception returns.

[SoonerBOI]

i saw that. it was amazing to see a former sooner score his first td, way to go AD!

[colleyvillesooner]

19 car, 103 yds
1 rec, 60 yds, TD

And 22 yards on a Kickoff return.

I hope they start listing his stats like R. Bush, in totaly yards.

184 Total yards. Not bad for your 1st game.

He's gonna get alot more carries too if Chester Taylor's hip injury is bad...

[bluedogok]

NFL Sunday Ticket Superfan is wonderful, any game I want in HD on the 52" and the Game Mix channel on the 26" :D

Agreed.

I have DTV and almost bought the NFL package awhile ago.

I just can't bring myself to it....

[bluedogok]

My wife suggested we buy it after getting the big screen last year, made me wonder why I waited so long. I guess I was just being cheap.

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

100 yard game!!!! I have always said that AD would make a better RB than a college RB. I think the size and speed in the NFL will prevent him from overextending himself and getting injured. Most of the time he got hurt at OU was because I always thought he was trying to do too much. I really like Adrian though, he ALWAYS seemed to be such a great teammate. When he was hurt he very easily could have just quit and sit at the end of the bench and did nothing but every time I saw him he was coaching Patrick and giving him confidence.

[Suerreal]

His catching still needs a little work, but he can really rack up some impressive YAC stats.

[stoopified]

YYYYYOOOOOOO AAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDRRRRRIIIIAAAANNNN

EXCERPTS:

Thrust into full duty when starter Chester Taylor hurt his hip, Peterson made an amazing catch out of the backfield that he turned into a 60-yard touchdown reception. He also, by the way, finished with 103 yards rushing on 19 carries.

"My vision is having Chester and Adrian carry it equally," coach Brad Childress said. "Obviously it's nice to have somebody take up the slack."

Peterson, the seventh overall draft pick out of Oklahoma, was taken to inject some life into an offense that was one of the NFL's worst last season. He couldn't have been any better in his debut.

With the Vikings clutching a 10-3 lead early in the fourth quarter, Peterson sneaked past a blitzing DeAngelo Hall and put both hands on an off-target pass from Tarvaris Jackson. The ball popped straight up in the air, but Peterson caught it and ran through the secondary without being touched.

Peterson didn't just become the featured back in his first NFL game. He was the lead kickoff returner, and he also saved Minnesota from a dangerous situation late in the first half by falling on a fumble at his 31-yard line after an errant shotgun snap by Matt Birk.

Linebacker Keith Brooking promised a bright future for the rookie, but he blamed the defense for giving up so much on the ground. Hall said he thought the Vikings actually benefited from Taylor's injury.

"Chester's a bit of a smaller back and is not going to deliver the blow like Adrian Peterson did all day today," Hall said.

The Vikings certainly weren't perfect, failing on six of nine third downs. Except for Peterson's big play, they kept getting stuck in the middle of the field -- a big reason why they finished 6-10 last year.

"I thought he looked comfortable back there," Childress said. "I didn't see any jittery-ness."
