Patterson has me eating a very tasty meal of crow! What's it going to cost to resign the guy next year?

Another throw where Bradford was giving his WR a chance to make a play. I love it!

Touchdown Patterson! Nice job fighting for the ball, CP!

Man, Bradford is making a serious difference at QB.

Someone mentioned Patterson was hurt earlier, but is back now. Anyone know what happened?

Reading between the lines of what Zimmer has said... Laquon is learning to be humble right now. And learning how to work. When he's ready, he will be a great player. But he isn't ready.

He moved into the dog house that Patterson vacated?

I don't think it's so much a dog house as it is a reflection of some serious talent in Thielen, Patterson and Wright.

It did. It's about time they figured out his size and strength are an advantage in the endzone.

The guy is playing with real determination. I'm glad to see good things happening for him... and the team!

With Diggs, Thielen, and Patterson playing like this it will be tough to crack the line-up this year.

Not without the sacrifices of many Vikings. It's been a rough tradeoff. The Gods demand blood.
