| There are many potential storylines on which to focus from the Vikings' heart-breaking loss to the Saints in the NFC title game as the teams get set for a rematch to open the season on Thursday night at the Superdome.
In its 31-28 overtime defeat to the eventual Super Bowl champions, Minnesota accumulated 475 yards of total offense. This included 122 rushing yards and three touchdowns from Pro Bowl running back Adrian Peterson. The only issue was that Peterson fumbled twice, and could have been charged with a third that resulted in a key turnover late in the first half, as the Vikings finished with three lost fumbles and two interceptions. Then there was the 12-men in the huddle penalty late in the fourth quarter as the Vikings were driving with hopes of taking the... |

| Gregg Williams exhibits a fanatical devotion to the concept of necessary roughness. The Saints' defensive coordinator is quick to remind his players that defenses are "respected when they're feared."
