Reminded that his lone NFL start came at Seattle, Adrian Peterson nodded and leaned back slightly, as if he were preparing for a ride back in time.
''Shoot, yeah,'' he said. ''That was four or five years ago.''
It was four years ago, during the Bears' last trip to Seattle, when Peterson ran for 55 yards on 16 carries before suffering a high-ankle sprain that wound up ending his season. He has had more than 16 rushes in a game only once since, rolling for 120 yards on 24 attempts in a 2005 victory over the San Francisco 49ers when Thomas Jones was out and Cedric Benson had his knee twisted.
As usual, Peterson waits quietly for his name to be called, now wondering like everyone else if opportunity will knock with the Bears' running game grounded. The team that ''gets off the bus running'' is on pace for 1,260 yards, which would be the franchise's lowest output in a non-strike season since 1970. That includes seven 14-game seasons'
