I once saw the Baylor Bears get the best of Peterson so I'm confident the Dallas Cowboys can.

I think you might be mistaken.

AD did have some games where he didn't play great (Orange Bowl against USC most notably) but he was never "shut down" by Baylor.

Unless you count missing the game due to injury as getting "shut down." : Which is what happened in 2006 and 2005.

He only suited up one time against Baylor, it was his Freshman year, and he rushed for a modest 240 yards and 3 touchdowns.

Well, we could always have Roy break his leg(s). Since he's a dirty tackler and all.

If the New England loss has the desired effect, Dallas will completely stifle Adrian Petersen. A stat line such as 15 carries for 33 yards would not surprise me. I'm not knocking Adrian; in my opinion, he'll be a great one. But Dallas' defense plays very well against the run, and Minnesota has no other consistent offensive weapons.

This game could mirror the '92 shut out of Seattle, which followed a crushing defeat to Philadelphia.

Bears played well against the run before the vikings....
