By the numbers: Vikings-Falcons

In the NFL, there is a level of pride and confidence in what you do that often clashes with the strength of an opponent. Perhaps at no point this season has there been a clash of styles in which both teams are convinced that they not only have an edge, they have the ability to dominate.

The Minnesota Vikings have the NFL’s No. 1 rusher in Adrian Peterson. Through 10 games, he is the only running back in the NFL that has topped 1,000 yards. His impact on Vikings games can’t be denied. In Minnesota’s seven wins, Peterson’s rushing numbers have been as follows – 29 carries-134 yards-0 TDs, 20-126-2, 26-60-0, 19-98-0, 20-103-0, 29-125-1 and 26-203-1.
