re: Saints-Vikings Comparison

as for the running game, the stats are similar

taking out qb sacks for this stat, which is a more accurate reading of the run game

the saints have 1555 yards on 320 carries which is about a 4.8 ypc

the vikings have 1430 yards on 313 carries which is about a 4.6 ypc

so overall the running game is similar. adrian peterson is a home run threat every time he touches the ball, i just cant say that about pierre thomas or mike bell. adrian is also the most physical runner in the game and really wears down a defense. if you think that doesnt matter than you don't know football
