Preview: Lions @ Vikes

Lion-Vikes Preview

In this game, the Vikes are expected to roll all over the Lions. After saying this the Vikes are known to let the Viking fans down, most of their franchise existence. On paper the Vikes should run all over the Lion defense with Adrian Peterson. It might be time for AD to have a breakout game this season. He has had some good game early in the season, but the defenses are putting 8-9 men in the box to stop him. With Gus Frerotte emerging and leading the Vikes passing game while AD is being controlled. Now the Vikes passing game, this might have defense coordinators thinking a little bit more. Here are the yards per game in a the passing and rushing categories on both sides of the ball:

The Vikes
Passing(off) 190.6(21st rank in NFL)
Rushing(off) 121.8(12)
Passing(def) 230(24)
Rushing(def) 71(3)

The Lions
Passing(off) 190.8(20)
Rushing(off) 72.3(31)
Passing(def) 249(29)
Rushing(def) 180(31)

I hope it is a great day come tomorrow for all Viking fans. SKOL VIKINGS!!!
