It was only Adrian Peterson's second time facing the team he spent a decade with, but the Washington Redskins running back ensured he made a statement.
Peterson, who the Minnesota Vikings selected as the seventh pick in the 2007 NFL draft, moved up the all-time rushing list and into sixth position on Thursday.
The 34-year-old moved up the list with a break-out run against former team the Vikings.
Peterson's efforts saw him surpass LaDainian Tomlinson and Jerome Bettis.
And with this run @AdrianPeterson is now 6th on the All-time career rushing yards list! Congrats, AP!@Redskins | #HTTR
