Turnover ratio. The Saints were third in the NFL on the plus side of the turnover department at +14. The Vikings were tied for 11th in the NFL with a +4. That is a pretty big spread and has been completely overlooked. Plus, didn't Adrian Peterson tie for the lead league in fumbles lost?

Something else that has been noticeable for a while now is Adrian Peterson's lack of production. He had 26 carries against the Cowboys and averaged a measly 2.4 YPC. He has only averaged over 4 YPC TWICE in the last 11 games. I know he is a dangerous RB with the ability to break one open at any time, but I think he can be contained just like he was when the Vikings played the Saints last year. I see him putting the ball on the ground in this game, too. Just sayin'.
