Things were breaking around Rhett Ellison.
First, it was the patellar tendon in his right knee during the Vikings’ Jan. 3 division-clinching win at Green Bay. Then a week later, in the team’s first-round playoff game, it was the ceremonial horn in frigid temperatures before Ellison got a chance to be honored.
