Adrian Peterson Vs. Frank Gore

Peterson (35) and Gore (37) are both surefire Hall-of-Famers. But, which one is playing better at this late stage of their careers?

RBs over 35 are rare in today's NFL. But Frank Gore and Adrian Peterson are still going. Which of these future Hall-of-Famers had the better 2020 season?

When looking at their stats, two things stuck out to me.

• They can both play longer if they want to. (150+ Carries and 600+ Yards)
• They are not quite what they used to be. (3.5 and 3.9 Yards Per Carry)

It is close, but I have to give it to Peterson at this point. His 7 TDs really showed that he still has the power to finish tough short-yardage runs.
