" After rushing for 154 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the Vikings’ 21-14 win over the rival Bears on Sunday, giving him 1,600 yards on the year, Peterson expressed an interest in breaking Eric Dickerson‘s long-standing single-season rushing record. "
According to Peter King of Sports Illustrated

AP needs 506 more yards in his teams final three games to top this long standing record of 2105 rushing yards set by Eric Dickerson 'L A RAMS' in 1984. 12 times that season Eric Dickerson rushed for over 100 yards. In eight games this season AP has exceeded 100 yards rushing.
In the last seven (7) games AP has averaged 157 yards rushing. If he continues that average or (157 yards) over the final three games he will finish this season with 2071 yards and fall 35 yards short of breaking Eric Dickerson's record.
If you look at his average over the last five (5) games or 165 yards rushing and he continues with that average in his final three games. He'll end up rushing for 2095 yards and miss the record by 11 yards.
Do you believe that Adrian Peterson will break Eric Dickerson's single season rushing record this season?
