DOME'S FAREWELL: The Vikings will play the next two seasons at the University of Minnesota before moving into a new stadium. Fans stuck around for a postgame ceremony and turned up the volume one last time to help their team to a victory. "I love the stadium. But when you see the pictures of the new one, you're anxious and excited to get into the new one," Peterson said.
PATTERSON'S STATEMENT: It took some time for the speedy rookie to find his way, but he spent the second half of the season doing a deadpan impression of Percy Harvin,Adrian Wilson Jersey, the dynamic player he's charged to replace. Patterson scored on a 50-yard run and an 8-yard pass to give him six TDs in his last five games. "I just like to get the ball in my hands," Patterson said. "I just like to do special things when I get the ball in my hands. I just feel like Flash, so I call myself Flash." |
