The Vikings began their 2015 campaign with a rocky start, dropping their first game to San Francisco and their fourth game to the Broncos. At 2-2 during the Week 5 bye, Minnesota turned things around and strung together five consecutive wins, ultimately finishing with an 11-5 record. The team was No. 4 in the league with 138.2 rushing yards per game thanks to Adrian Peterson, who won the league rushing title. The running back picked up an astounding 1,485 yards on the ground and scored 11 rushing touchdowns.
The team’s defense was also a big part of its success though, as the group allowed just 18.
