1. Not the same: Minnesota running back Adrian Peterson entered the NFL in 2007. Over the next seven seasons, the Vikings ranked first, fifth, 13th, 10th, fourth, second and eighth in rushing offense. Peterson has missed Minnesota's last nine games with legal issues. Minnesota still ranks 11th in rushing offense, but the combination of Jerick McKinnon and Matt Asiata couldn't hold Peterson's pads. The Vikings' offense hasn't been close to the same without the NFL's best running back.
