PITTSBURGH (AP) -They’ve met with their coaches, watched tape, talked among themselves. The Pittsburgh Steelers still aren’t certain how they’re going to do it.
Shut down Brett Favre, who remains one of the NFL’s prolific passers? For certain, that’s a worry.
To beat the unbeaten Minnesota Vikings (6-0) on Sunday, the Steelers (4-2) understand their top priority must be finding a way to slow down Adrian Peterson, something no opposing game plan or defensive scheme has accomplished this season.
Peterson’s 624 yards rushing lead the NFL, and his 5.16 yards per carry average through 36 career games is the highest in NFL history at that stage of a career. Barry Sanders had a 5.12 average and Jim Brown had a 5.07 average, according to Stats LLC.
