Running back Jerick McKinnon popped a 13-yard run out of the wildcat and wideout Adam Thielen picked up 11 yards and a first down on an end-around. But when they weren\u2019t going backward, the Vikings usually went nowhere.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text_Body\">\u201cIt\u2019s just kind of the same story. One guy here and one guy there,\u201d Line eventually said. \u201cWe\u2019ve just got to start finishing guys downfield and staying on blocks, helping the runners up after their carries. It\u2019s all the small things. It\u2019s one of those where you just got to get over that thought that we can\u2019t run the ball.

In addition, the Vikings have averaged only 2.7 yards per run, more than a half-yard less than anybody else.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text_Body\">And it can\u2019t simply be chalked up to the absence Adrian Peterson, the NFL\u2019s leading rusher last season. He averaged only 1.6 yards per carry in two games before going on injured reserve, though he probably would have popped at least one long run if he were still playing.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-media \">\n<div class=\"related-media-wrapper is-\">\n<p><!-- add .is-photo, .is-gallery, .is-graphic, .is-video --><\/p>\n<div class=\"expand-icn-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/stmedia.stimg.co\/ows_147918129080141.jpg?w=263\" alt=\"Vikings running back Jerick McKinnon, taking a handoff from Sam Bradford, has struggled to get back to form after being sidelined by an ankle injury.\" \/><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><noscript>          &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;img src=&#8221;http:\/\/metrics.startribune.com\/b\/ss\/nmminneapolis\/1\/JS-1.6.4&#8211;NS\/39170?pageName=Running%20in%20place%3A%20Vikings%20ground%20game%20still%20going%20nowhere&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;channel=Photo Gallery&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;server=startribune.com&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;c1=http%3A%2F%2Fstmedia.stimg.co%2Fows_147918129080141.jpg%3Fw%3D263&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;c2=V20161114&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;c3=Photo&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;c4=Photo Gallery&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;c5=noscript&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;c7=Photography&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;c16=&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;c24=Photo Gallery&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;c31=Related%20Article%20Single%20Image&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;c33=&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;c71=websites&#8221; height=&#8221;1&#8243; width=&#8221;1&#8243; border=&#8221;0&#8243; alt=&#8221;&#8221; \/&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;amp;nbsp;<\/noscript><!--\/DO NOT REMOVE\/--><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"related-byline\">CARLOS GONZALEZ cgonzalez@startribune.com<\/div>\n<div class=\"related-caption toggle-photo-caption\">Vikings running back Jerick McKinnon, taking a handoff from Sam Bradford, has struggled to get back to form after being sidelined by an ankle injury.<\/div>\n<div class=\"related-caption toggle-photo-caption\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"Text_Body\">It is still unclear whether Peterson, who had surgery to repair a torn meniscus, will return this season. Coach Mike Zimmer again said Monday that he has \u201cno idea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text_Body\">The Vikings are on pace to have the lowest yards-per-carry average as a team since the Giants in 1953, three years before Zimmer was born.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text_Body\">Since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger, only three teams have averaged fewer than 3 yards per run over the course of a season \u2014 the 1986 and 1994 New England Patriots and the 1992 Indianapolis Colts. The 1994 Patriots, whose leading rusher that year was Marion Butts with 703 yards, were coached by Zimmer mentor Bill Parcells.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text_Body\">The lowest yards-per-carry average in Pro Football Reference\u2019s database, which stretches back to 1940, belongs to the 1943 Brooklyn Dodgers, who went 2-8 with fullback Pug Manders, halfback Merl Condit and the boys mustering only 1.8 yards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text_Body\">Only 16 teams since 1940 have averaged less than 3 yards per run in a season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text_Body\">\u201cIt\u2019s not all about the average, and we\u2019re trying to fix it,\u201d Zimmer said Monday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text_Body\">The Vikings\u2019 short-yardage struggles continued at Washington with running back Matt Asiata twice getting stuffed on third-and-1 in the second half, when the Vikings were outscored 12-0.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text_Body\">\u201cIt\u2019s unbelievably frustrating,\u201d left guard Alex Boone said in the locker room after the game. \u201cClose game against a good team, converting third-and-1 [wins] that game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text_Body\">On 18 occasions this season, the Vikings ran the ball when needing 2 or fewer yards on third or fourth down. They picked up first downs on only half of those plays. Conversely, when throwing it in similar short-yardage spots, they converted 12 of 16 times.<\/p>\n<div id=\"zone-1-block-15-sideways-inline-body\" class=\"sideways-ad ad-mod dfp-ad-container\" data-appear-top-offset=\"300\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"Text_Body\">Asiata did score from third-and-goal at the 1-yard line Sunday \u2014 w but only after getting stopped the previous two plays, including once with seven linemen on the field.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text_Body\">\u201cThat\u2019s going to be one of the big emphases this week, trying to figure this out and get back to being a lot more successful. We should be more successful there,\u201d Zimmer said Monday. \u201cWe got knocked back a few times. There were a couple times where we probably should have made it. Anyways, we haven\u2019t gotten it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text_Body\">The Vikings finished with 47 yards on 21 carries against the NFL\u2019s 26th-ranked run defense.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text_Body\">And now the Vikings must continue on without left tackle Jake Long, who was lost for the season Sunday because of an Achilles\u2019 tendon injury. They have been hit particularly hard along the offensive line, and Peterson\u2019s top backup, McKinnon, still has not been given a full workload since returning from a sprained ankle that sidelined him one game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text_Body\">The Vikings are trying not to use injuries as an excuse. But this is their reality.<\/p>\n<div id=\"zone-1-block-20-sideways-inline-body\" class=\"sideways-ad ad-mod dfp-ad-container\" data-appear-top-offset=\"300\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"Text_Body\">\u201cEvery time it seems like we get it going, we face some more adversity, whether that\u2019s an injury or something else,\u201d Line said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text_Body\">\u201cWe\u2019ve had a lot of obstacles to overcome. It\u2019s hard when you don\u2019t have guys staying healthy all of the time.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.startribune.com\/vikings-are-merely-running-in-place\/401208245\/\">http:\/\/www.startribune.com\/vikings-are-merely-running-in-place\/401208245\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Has it really been four weeks?
