2. Minnesota Vikings
I’m not sure anything could have gone worse for a team then what occurred to the Minnesota Vikings last season. The Vikings have been built around Adrian Peterson for the last decade and any team that loses it franchise player, to child abuse charges, it doesn’t get much worse than that.
Look out NFL, Peterson is playing with a major chip on his shoulder and will have a record breaking season. Early reports are “All-Day” is in the best shape of his life and ready to prove to everyone age and one season off will not hold him back.
The only positive that came out of the AP suspension is it appears the Vikings have found a franchise quarterback. Teddy Bridgewater finished the season with a 72% completion percentage and over 270 yards per game in December. He will only get better with Peterson back on the field.
The Vikings may have been a laughing stock in 2014, but they will get the last laugh this season. They will be fighting for a Wild Card spot and take over second place in the division from the Detroit Lions.
