Vikings: Cordarelle Patterson looks like his rookie self with return TD

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Cordarelle Patterson preferred to let one big play do the talking for him.

The receiver/return specialist returned a kickoff 93 yards for a touchdown late in the first half to put the Vikings up for good in their 30-14 victory Sunday over Oakland at O.co Coliseum. After the game, he declined to speak to the media.

It hasn't been the best of seasons for Patterson, who has produced just two catches for 10 yards two years after a stellar rookie season. Patterson also hadn't returned a kickoff for a touchdown since he did it twice in 2013.
