What started as a trip to talk to the rookies ended with a Ring of Honor surprise.

A well-deserved recognition after a legendary career for @AdrianPeterson.

[Craig Peters @pcraigers]

Sad news to relay about Vikings Legend Jeff Siemon, who started 3 of Minnesota's 4 Super Bowl appearances. He was revered by other Vikings for his level of play, qualities as a teammate and his faith walk.

[Minnesota Vikings @Vikings]

The #Vikings are mourning the passing of Jeff Siemon.

Siemon, a 1st-round pick in 1972, was a 4-time Pro Bowler and was named one of the 50 Greatest Vikings in 2010.

39th career INT for Harrison Smith sets up a 56-yard FG by Will Reichard.

Lions tie it at 7 with 65 seconds left Q2. DET converted third-and-16, 3-9, 3-15, 4-1 and 4-goal on the 10-minute possession

[Craig Peters @pcraigers]

Fantastic use of the challenge by the #Vikings to force the 3rd-1, which was a fumbled snap recovered by Andrew Van Ginkel at the DET 16.
Aaron Jones with his 52nd career rushing TD from 1 yd out puts Minnesota up 7-0 with 1:35 remaining in Q1.
He "Bank Vaulted" into a suite

Wish we had average time to throw stats for Fran

[VikeFans @VikeFans]

MUST SEE! Vikings at Cowboys Week - 1966. A Viking loss at the Cotton Bowl, but we show people who are too young to have seen him (I was too young too) what scrambling from Fran Tarkenton looked like. A remarkable 17.25 seconds before he completed the pass! @Fran_Tarkenton

[Craig Peters @pcraigers]

J.J. McCarthy now has first career game with 3 passing TD, this time a 2-yarder to T.J. Hockenson (26th of Hock's career).
McCarthy now 12-for-18 with 127 yards and passer rating of 126.6

[Craig Peters @pcraigers]

Harrison Smith nabs his 38th career INT in game 203. Leads active players in INT and breaks a tie with #Vikings ROH Joey Browner for 4th most in team history

[Craig Peters @pcraigers]

45-yard FG by Will Reichard makes it 17-0 #Vikings with 7:01 to go in the 3rd quarter.
Reichard is 22-for-24 this season

[Craig Peters @pcraigers]

Andrew Van Ginkel with his 5th career INT and 3rd as a Viking. He returned it 41 yards to the Wash. 30.
First #Vikings interception since Week 8 at L.A. Chargers

[Craig Peters @pcraigers]

#Vikings 2-for-2 on possessions ending w/ TD
