Ravens defense intends to start new streak by holding Vikings’ Peterson under 100 yards

There’s only one thing left for the Baltimore Ravens to do after Cedric Benson ended their streak of 39 straight games without allowing a 100-yard rusher.
“Start another one. That’s what you do,” linebacker Ray Lewis said. “It’s not like a free throw, man. Some days you’re on, some days you’re going to miss. You just move on. The thing for us is to just go back and have fun.”
The Ravens’ next assignment — stopping Adrian Peterson of the unbeaten Minnesota Vikings — appears to be more dangerous than fun. If the Ravens don’t fix what went wrong in last week’s 17-14 loss to Cincinnati, they won’t be starting a new streak but rather will extend to two their run of permitting a 100-yard rusher.
“Adrian Peterson is just phenomenal,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. “He’s hard to attack, he’s amazingly fast. You’ve got to be completely sound in your run defense, and you’ve got to play great team run defense. You’ve got to run to the ball, you’ve got to play great team run defense.”
