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).
