Peterson Signed By Titans And Scores 125th Touchdown

Veteran running back Adrian Peterson was signed to the Tennessee Titans’ practice squad last week. On Sunday, he scored his 125th career touchdown in the Titans’ 28-16 win over the Los Angeles Rams. Peterson became just the 12th player in NFL history to reach the milestone.
