Adrian Peterson needs 400 yards over the final three weeks of the season to hit 2,000 yards, something he believes is easily achievable.

"Without a doubt," said Peterson. "It'll happen. Two thousand, that's easy. I'm eying Eric.''

Eric Dickerson holds the NFL record for most rushing yards in a season with 2,105, which was set in 1984.

Peterson has 210 yards and 154 yards in the past two weeks and feels like he is close to being back from knee surgery.

"I feel like I'm there, but there's more to come,'' Peterson said. "I'm not surprised at all. In fact, this is what I envisioned. When I was running hills in the offseason, running the gassers, I planned to come back stronger than ever, and I was convinced I could."
