Less than a month after joining the Minnesota Vikings, Brett Favre was among the five players elected as a team captain.

“You can’t coach chemistry,” Favre told reporters. “You can’t fake it. It has to happen. You have to believe in one another and that is ongoing. This is a good group of guys; it really is. As I told them, I am honored to be a part of this team.”

Favre may be a captain, but Adrian Peterson is the only reason the Vikings will have a chance at making a playoff run. On Sunday, Peterson tore up the entire Cleveland Browns defense when he rushed for 18 yards and 3 touchdowns. And he did it all while trying to fight off the stomach flu.

“I gagged myself a couple times trying to get everything in my stomach out,” Peterson said. “Normally it makes me feel better and it did. I came in and got an IV and felt recharged and rejuvenated and was ready to go to work.”

Peterson may have a chance to break the single season rushing record this year.
