— -- GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Adrian Peterson said last week he still has it.

He showed it Sunday.

Peterson, who was traded to the Cardinals on Tuesday from the Saints, rushed for 134 yards on 26 carries in the team's 38-33 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.?

Peterson came out of the gate strong, rushing for 54 yards on Arizona's opening drive. He topped it off with a 27-yard touchdown up the middle to give Arizona a 7-0 lead a little more than three minutes into the game.

He added a second score and passed the 100-yard mark early in the third quarter, making it the first time he has rushed for 100 or more yards in a game since 2015.

Peterson injected life into a dormant Cardinals run game. He, alone, had more yards on the first drive of the game than the 51.8 yards per game Arizona has averaged thus far this season.

Peterson had just 81 yards rushing in four games with the Saints.?

"I have so much left," Peterson said Wednesday after being traded to the Cardinals. "I look to play at least four to five more years, God willing. I have a lot left in the tank. Stay tuned."
