Per the announcers, "The Redskins are about to pitch their first shutout in 440 games".

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- In his first game with the Washington Redskins, running back Adrian Peterson established new career marks -- both of which helped his new team to a 24-6 victory over the Arizona Cardinals.
Peterson scored his 100th career rushing touchdown, tying him for seventh on the career TD list with Shaun Alexander and Marshall Faulk. It gave Washington a 14-0 lead en route to a 21-0 halftime edge.

Earlier in the first half, Peterson also surpassed Jim Brown for 10th on the career rushing list. Peterson entered the game needing 37 yards to surpass Brown and topped that mark before the end of the first quarter, moving ahead on a third-and-1 run.
He finished with 96 yards rushing on 26 carries and also had 70 yards receiving on two receptions. The 166 yards from scrimmage make the 33-year-old Peterson the oldest running back with 150 scrimmage yards in a season opener since the 1970 merger. Peterson is 33 years and 172 days old. DeAngelo Williams previously held the mark, which he set for the Steelers in 2016 when he was 33 years and 140 days old.
Peterson signed with Washington before the third preseason game and quickly won the starting job. The big question for Peterson will be what he can do over 16 games, but the early return was strong for Washington.
In the first half, Peterson rushed 14 times for 53 yards and gained 18 more on a screen pass. He showed that he can still run with power and use his speed effectively, as he did on the run in which he surpassed Brown. On that play, he took a pitch to the left and beat the defender to the outside.
Peterson now has 12,372 yards rushing. Tony Dorsett is next on the all-time list with 12,739 yards.

Wow, that's an impressive day for any NFL RB.  I'm sure he's feeling good about believing in himself when most everyone thought he was done.
