Adrian Peterson's fumble problems have been affecting his running. Peterson has fumbled five times in the Vikings' last nine games and is running much more tentatively than he did early in the season. He averaged 5.07 yards per carry in the Vikes' first nine games, but since fumbling twice in a game against the Lions in mid-November, he's averaged only 3.5 yards per carry. Hasn't rushed for 100 yards in the last eight games. "I'm still very confident," Peterson said this week. "Whatever I can do to contribute to the offense, that's what I'm doing."
