In 2018, the Vikings finished 30th out of 32 teams in the NFL in total rushing with only 1,493 yards. They were well behind their NFC North counterparts in that category.
The Bears finished 11th in the league with 1,938 yards. The Packers were 22nd with 1,667 yards. The Lions were 23rd with 1,660 yards.
But the bigger issue is the Vikings' poor running game stretches back over several seasons. In 2016, they were last in the NFL with 1,205 yards. Combined with last year's total, those are two of the four worst rushing seasons in franchise history.
