Hail: Adrian Peterson’s Fourth Carry
It was a thing of beauty, and it came at an opportune time, with the Commanders backed up to their own 10-yard line and Sanchez about to take his first snap in a regular season game since 2016. Peterson took the handoff from Sanchez, found a hole on the left side and outraced everyone to the end zone for a 90-yard touchdown run. The Internet lost its mind; the Eagles fans at Lincoln Financial Field went silent. It was the longest touchdown run in Commanders history and the longest touchdown run of Peterson’s career. It also moved the 33-year-old running back into a tie with Jim Brown for fifth on the NFL’s all-time rushing touchdowns list with 106 and gave Washington a 10-7 lead.
All gas no brakes. Career-long touchdown for @AdrianPeterson.
He has the most rushing touchdowns of 50 yards or more in NFL history and is now tied with Jim Brown on the all-time rushing touchdown list.#WASvsPHI | #HTTR pic.twitter.com/L8ZErt8WTP

Fail: Adrian Peterson’s Eight Other Carries
It’s difficult to fall short of 100 yards in a game in which you rush for 90 yards on one carry, but Peterson pulled it off, as he managed only eight yards on his other eight carries. If you happen to own Peterson in a fantasy league that awards a 100-yard bonus, it’s been a maddening season. Peterson has gone over 100 yards in two games this year; in four other games, including Monday, he’s finished with between 96 and 99 yards. The last time a running back had a touchdown run of at least 90 yards and failed to reach the century mark in a game was on Nov. 27, 1994, when the Eagles' Herschel Walker had three carries for 98 yards, including a 91-yard touchdown, in a 28-21 loss to the Falcons. According to NFL Research, Peterson and Walker are the only two players to, um, accomplish that feat since 1950.
Adrian Peterson broke Herschel Walker’s record for the oldest player with a 90+ yard rush TD in NFL history in Week 13
Since 1950, Peterson and Walker are the only players to not finish with 100+ rushing yards in the same game they rushed for a 90+ yard TD#WASvsPHI #Commanders
