The Minnesota Vikings would like to have a more balanced offense despite proclamations from Adrian Peterson that 2,500 yards is within reach.

"It's not imperative that (Adrian Peterson) rushed for 2,000 yards, or 2,500 yards, for us to win," said Leslie Frazier. Our offense always is going to run through Adrian, but we want to be able to pass the ball better than we did a year ago."

Peterson had 348 carries last season.
