The leagues best rushing attack and run defense. The only question remains Tarvaris Jackson. With Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor the Vikings have the best running back tandem in the league by far. The passing game however is quite another thing as Tarvaris Jackson continues to hold back the offense...
You have to count DE Jaren Allen as their No. 1 pick (and two No. 3s). He had 15½ sacks last year to lead the NFL and he brings a missing element to this defense, which ranked first in the NFL against the run...
