Vikings wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson wore a walking boot on his left foot following the 19-13 overtime win over the Bucs at Raymond James Stadium.

Patterson said he injured his left ankle on his final kickoff return with 1:57 left in the game. He remained in the game on the final drive to help the Vikings force overtime on kicker Blair Walsh's 38-yard field as time expired.

"I finished the whole game," Patterson said. "In something like this, you've got to finish."

Patterson said the boot was a precautionary step and felt he'd be fine. Fortunately for the Vikings, he didn't leave the game. Patterson received two targets on the final drive, drawing a defensive pass interference penalty and making a 12-yard grab on the first two plays.

He finished with a season-high six catches for 86 yards. Patterson led all receivers with 12 targets from rookie quarterback Teddy Bridgewater.

"I tell Teddy don't tease me this week," Patterson said. "Give me six catches this week and next week don't give me the ball, so it does feel good to get the ball — not just to me, but to all the other receivers."

Patterson had his best performance as a receiver this season, but he felt it was an average game. He denied that it was even a breakout game when a reporter asked.

"I hope next week I get more catches than I did this week," Patterson said.
