Who wins this key matchup?

The Vikings' run defense, ranked No. 1 in the NFL, has been consistently good this season. But New England's No. 6-rated run offense has been erratic, relying on three big performances.
The Patriots opened the season with 183 rushing yards against the Buffalo Bills, followed by 147 against the New York Jets. But New Engald was held to just 50 against the Denver Broncos and 79 against Miami. Both of those games were at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, MA.
And after some standout games, including 125 rushing yards and two touchdowns against the Cincinnati Bengals, former Gopher Laurence Maroney has been quiet the last two games, with just 26 carries for just 67 yards. Corey Dillon hasn't been much better, although he did score two touchdowns in Sunday's win over the Bills.
The ability to neutralize Dillon and Maroney will empower the Vikings to focus on pressuring Tom Brady and forcing the Patriots' weak receiver corps to beat them.
