The Jaguars square off against the Vikings on Sunday.
The Jacksonville Jaguars open up their 2012 season in Minnesota against the Vikings on Sunday afternoon. Both teams enter the regular season with some questions at running back -- Minnesota's Adrian Peterson is recovering from a major knee injury and could be limited, while Jacksonville's Maurice Jones-Drew won't start because he missed most of the preseason while holding out for a new contract.

Both teams will also be looking for improvement from their second-year quarterbacks. The Jags' Blaine Gabbert completed just 50.8% of his passes in 2011, and he threw 11 interceptions to go with his 12 touchdowns. The Vikings' Christian Ponder had a better completion percentage but threw more interceptions (13).
