NFL Week 17 as told by tweets
Each Sunday we'll recap the week that was in the NFL with the top tweets from across Twitter.
Adrian Peterson demolished defenses all season at a near record-breaking pace. He finished Sunday with 2,097 yards, nine short of the single-season record.
It's bittersweet coming up 9 yds short of the record but I came into this game w my main focus being getting a "W". Mission accomplished!

And I can honestly say it never occurred to me to bobble the snap to give AP another chance at the record. I think that's a good thing.

We should award Adrian Peterson the record just for saving us from watching Jay Cutler in another playoff game

They should give Adrian Peterson the Rookie of the Year award, too. Just for the hell of it.

Tony Romo just won't let the narrative die.
Quick Hits:
The Tebow/Sanchez/McElroy melodrama is finally over.
You get a malware warning when you search for Mark Sanchez on Twitter and that's the most appropriate thing ever

Tebow chants picking up here. It's like a bizzarro version of the end of "Rudy."

Andy Reid's time in Philly is also mercifully over.
Giants fans chanting "Eagles suck." Cheer would be much louder if this was at the Linc.

The Year of the QB has its downside.
2012 has seen 69 pick-sixes thus far, a new single season NFL record.

The Saints can boast it had a historically awful defense.
In allowing 530 yards to Carolina toay, the #Saints (7,042) became the 1st team in NFL history to allow more than 7,000 yards in a season.

Like Robert Griffin III and Andrew Luck, Russell Wilson found his way into the NFL record book.
.@dangerusswilson is 1st rookie QB in @nflhistory to lead his team to an undefeated home season. #NFLROY
