The 2015 Vikings offense could be summarized by three words: conservative, methodical, and predictable. Leaning on a dominant defense, the game plan was to control the ball and limit mistakes by centering the offense around Adrian Peterson and the running game. While generally successful in its modest goals, the offense left fans frustrated as the team left big plays on the field and struggled to separate from opponents. Yet despite the offense producing disappointing results as it ranked 29th in the league in total yardage, one of the most dynamic playmakers on the team was largely relegated to the sidelines.
