Chris Johnson and Adrian Peterson both underperformed in the NFL's 2011 season. Which one will bounce back in a bigger way?

Johnson's season was disappointing but only by his own standards. The Tennessee Titans running back still managed a 1,000-yard rushing season, as his team just missed the AFC playoffs by the slimmest of margins.

Peterson, meanwhile, went down with torn ligaments in his knee in December and only appeared in 12 games. With an inexperienced quarterback in Christian Ponder and a tough NFC North division, the Minnesota Vikings need Purple Jesus to bounce back in a big way.
