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

Oh, please explain football to me oh great and powerful Flowbie. Because, obviously, you are so wise in the ways of the gridiron.

i'll take the saints rushing attack.. you guys rely far too much on one guy.. who may pose as a home run threat every time he touches the ball.. but he also poses as a huge fumbling threat as well. lolz.. turn the ball over against the saints and you pay.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure sack yardage is taken away from passing yards in the NFL. Sack yardage is taken away from rushing yards in college.
