Adrian Peterson, the last non-quarterback to win the NFL MVP award, is reportedly over $12 million in debt, following a lengthy legal battle over a $5.2 million loan taken out in 2016. Despite earning over $100 million during his 15-year career, Peterson's financial troubles intensified after he was dropped by the Minnesota Vikings in 2017, leading to diminished earnings. In a separate sports story, Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton faced criticism for his decision not to attempt an onside kick during a 13-6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, a choice that left the team with only nine seconds to play. Payton explained that he felt the odds of recovering the kick were too low, but many fans and analysts found this reasoning perplexing. The Broncos are struggling under Payton, who is being challenged to adapt his coaching style to the talent available, particularly following the departure of quarterback Russell Wilson. As the team grapples with these issues, the pressure mounts on Payton to demonstrate effective leadership and strategy.
