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

Peterson also became the oldest player with multiple 50-yard touchdown runs this season.
He ran 64 yards for a touchdown against the New York Giants in Week 8.
But the long run did not lead to a great night, as Peterson finished with 98 yards on nine carries.
Hard to hate on Peterson for his night, but you have to do more.
