2. Remarkable rushes
Former Viking Adrian Peterson recorded the fastest speed of any ball carrier in the game.
According to Next Gen Stats, Peterson topped out at 20.88 miles per hour on his 38-yard run to open the second quarter, the 12th-fastest speed by any ball carrier in Week 17.
Peterson also qualified for a "remarkable rush" by gaining 32 more yards than expected on the play, which was the ninth-highest above expectation on Sunday.
Vikings running back Alexander Mattison turned in a strong performance with 95 rushing yards and 50 receiving yards while filling in for Dalvin Cook. Mattison caught a 28-yard touchdown and rushed for a 2-yard score. According to Next Gen Stats, the second-year pro gained 16 more yards than expected (19th-most in Week 17) on his 20-yard run in the second quarter.
