MINNEAPOLIS -- The scene on Sunday afternoon at U.S. Bank Stadium was almost surreal. Scott Tolzien -- last seen by Minnesota Vikings fans in a putrid November 2013 tie with the Green Bay Packers -- stepped in for Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck to run clock with cursory handoffs. Minnesota running back Adrian Peterson cooled his heels on the sideline. And a Vikings fan base that filed into the stadium against minus-15-degree temperatures excused itself early, choosing a return to the frigid weather over the carnage on the field.
