A number of Green Bay Packers players have said that they do not want to see Adrian Peterson break the single-season rushing record against them this Sunday.
The Minnesota Vikings running back must rush for 208 yards against the Packers to break Eric Dickerson's record.
Cornerback Tramon Williams told reporters: "If anybody deserves to get the record, it's definitely [Peterson], no doubt about it. But unfortunately, they're playing us. It's going to be a tough task; we know that already. But if history is on our side, AP had his good game against us already."
Wide receiver James Jones added: "I hope he doesn't break it against us. To be even close to the 2,000-yard mark is unbelievable. But hopefully he doesn't break it against us because we've got to stop him and win the ballgame."
Peterson returned this year after undergoing major knee surgery to repair ligament damage.
A win for the Packers would clinch a playoff bye week, while the Vikings can seal a wildcard spot in the playoffs.
