A broken leg in the preseason saw PeTA’s most wanted continue the curse and left Vick with minuscule numbers in just five games. Faulk was relatively healthy for the ‘02 season but rushed for 400 less yards and four fewer TDs than the previous year. It marked the Canton-bound back’s weakest production since 1996. C-Pep was out of for a quarter of the season and tossed for over a thousand fewer yards than the year before with a whopping 21 fewer total TDs. 2001 marked the Vikings worst record since 1984.
