I'd say he came back from his injury earlier than advised which explain his early sluggishness. He got back to 100% like the 6th week in i believe he said. He's benefiting from great fullback's leading him (jerome felton, rhett elison) and some really solid run blocking throughout. I'd attribute a lot of texans success stopping the run is from not playing a lot of run focused teams. I can't think of any team that shoves the run game down the opponents throats like vikings, except maybe the seahawks.
I have total faith in AP having a big day at home against the pack. He ran 200 yards against them last time, granted without Clay Mathews but they way i figure Clay Mathews is just one more person for peterson to run over a la thom yorks gif above.
St.Louis i really don't know. I haven't watched them once this season. I hear amendola is a threat but we've won against marshall and megatron. As long as we don't get behind early vikings are going to feed the beast until he gets loose
