That is easy for anyone to say and you were not on the field having big players running to hit them. If I remember correctly Peterson just broke tackles (which was a great play) and made a last ditch effort to get in the end zone. I agree that he probably did not have to do it to get in the end zone, but I think he felt he needed to get into the end zone if players were hanging off of him. At least that is what I remember. This did happen back in October if I am not mistaken.
