Can anyone tell me the moment AP was no longer a badass? Come on just think about it. I don’t think he knew it in that exact moment but someone did. It had to be a very embarrassing moment for him. Let’s see if you all are thinking of the same moment as I am.
Still lost though. They say that game was the birth of Legion of Boom when they were ready to start making a name for themselves. Even Adrian Petersons impressive performance couldn’t beat the LOB. They went on to win the next 8 of 9 games before a poo butt defensive coordinator played a prevent to win defense vs Atlanta in the Playoffs. Luckily the next year Dan Quinn stepped in and the NFL fan base got to witness one of the top 5 greatest defenses ever assembled just destroy the NFL rigged game that favors the offense. It no disrespect to AP he is one of the top 5 greatest backs in NFL history. My top5 RBs 1-Walter Payton 2-Barry Sanders 3-Ladanian Tomlinson 4-Jim Brown 5-Adrian Peterson Seriously splitting hairs on who the greatest was to play the game.
They lost cause they had the worst QB in the league. Adrian had to carry every game despite the defenses knowing they're going to run with no threat of pass.
You know what the most impressive thing is? One of the most decorated defenses of all time knew where the ball was going, stacked the box, and still couldn't stop him.
He didn't dominate anything lol. Legion of boom was geared to stop passing games not running. The legion of boom was represented by 4 guys in the defensive backfield. The rest of their defense was nothing spectacular.
