Reports of Adrian Peterson's revival appear to be premature.
Peterson was reignited during the Arizona Cardinals' 20-10 win over the San Francisco 49ers last Sunday, rushing for 159 yards on 37 carries. However, the first half of Thursday's game against the Seattle Seahawks proved to be a different story.
The veteran running back fumbled during his first carry of the game, setting the tone ahead of a dismal first half for the Cardinals.
Peterson's rough evening didn't stop there as he was wrapped up by several Seahawks defenders for a safety, giving his opponent a 9-7 lead. The running back finished the half with 17 yards on 11 carries.
Russell Wilson opened the scoring, finding Jimmy Graham for a six-yard touchdown to give the Seahawks a 7-0 lead. However, the Cardinals quickly countered with a Drew Stanton passing touchdown, connecting with Jermaine Gresham for a 14-yard score, tying the game at 7.
Seattle entered halftime with a 15-7 lead.
