FELTON RETURNS: Vikings fullback Jerome Felton returns from a three-game suspension to provide Peterson and the offensive line with a much-needed boost. The All-Pro fullback was suspended after picking up a DUI charge, and his absence has been noted. Peterson has rushed for 281 yards but has only averaged 2.99 yards per carry since a 78-yard touchdown run on the Vikings opening play of the season. Felton helped Peterson run for 2,097 yards last season as he chased Eric Dickerson's single-season record. "I just want to make his job easier," Felton said. "I was able to do that last year. I think we play well off each other."
PLAYOFFS OR BUST: A victory will provide one of these two teams with a dose of momentum and hope that a playoff run is still possible.. The loser, however, will almost certainly need to start looking toward next season since no team has recovered from an 0-4 start to make the playoffs since the San Diego Chargers in 1992. Pittsburgh is off to its worst start since 2000 and risks starting a season 0-4 for the first time since 1968. Minnesota started 0-4 two seasons ago. The Buffalo Bills were the last 0-3 team to reach the playoffs,Swell Bottle Uk Sale, in 1998.
