Though he didn’t make it to the playoffs as a rookie with the Minnesota Vikings, running back Adrian Peterson closed things out in style by winning the MVP award at the Pro Bowl.

Peterson rushed for 129 yards and scored two touchdowns in a 42-30 NFC win.

The award also could have gone to Terrell Owens, who caught eight passes for 101 yards and two scores.

“The true MVP is Sean Taylor,” Peterson told Brian Baldinger of FOX after the game.  “This is also in honor of him and dedicated to him.”  Taylor died in November, and all of his former Redskins teammates wore No. 21 in his honor on Sunday.
