| Judd Zulgad, of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, reports Minnesota Vikings RB Adrian Peterson said he is not concerned about his fumbling issues but plans on working on holding onto the ball better during the offseason. 'It's not [anything] that really concerns me at all. It's something I look forward to working on more during the offseason. Especially with my running style, how I run so aggressive. The majority of time guys are hitting at the ball instead of trying to hit me. That's something that I'm just more aware of now and I'll do a better job coming into [next season],' Peterson said. |

| Judd Zulgad, of Minneapolis Star Tribune, reports Minnesota Vikings RB Adrian Peterson said he is not disappointed about rushing for 1,383 yards this season because he did other things to help the team out. 'I had over 1,300 yards. I don't think that's a disappointment at all. I feel like I've contributed to this offense in so many different ways, not just running the ball. We're heading down the right road. We've got the opportunity to accomplish our goal that we set in training camp,at the end of last season. I don't feel that it's a disappointment as far as a season as an individual. Ultimately, it's not about individual goals. It's not going to get you to where you want to go. It's all about team and that's been my focus,' Peterson said. |
