The Minnesota Vikings running game produced one huge play against the Detroit Lions but on the whole was inconsistent.
Though Adrian Peterson finished with 98 yards on 19 carries, his day was mostly frustrating as he struggled to find running lanes.
On a couple of occasions Peterson compounded his issues by trying to bounce plays outside that weren’t there, resulting in damaging negative runs.
Those negative runs are becoming a bit of an on-going issue for the Vikings.
Adrian Peterson has always been a bit of a feast-or-famine runner of course. But lately the gulf between the feast and the famine seems to be getting wider.
