Peterson Is A Monster
Football is war and to win a war you need monsters. Wieden + Kennedy and Nike Football capture this perfectly in the Pro Combat "Alter Ego" spot below. The spot stars Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings--the best running back in the league today. The use of slow-mo, black and white photography and the horror movie score all bring additional drama to a story that's inherently dramatic. And it doesn't hurt that …
