Rivals get 'superlatives' as game nears

September 16, 2016 at 12:58AM

Jimmy Fallon does a bit on "The Tonight Show" where he hands out "superlatives" to people — more or less fake yearbook quotes. You might have seen it; I've caught it once or twice, but usually I'm far to cool (or, what I mean to say is, I'm already asleep).

Anyway, with the Vikings and Packers set to play on "Sunday Night Football" on NBC (synergy!), a few players from each squad got put through the process the other night.

They're fairly harmless — a little mean if you look at them one way, a little funny if you look at them another way.

All I know is Audie Cole might be getting relentlessly teased about it for the rest of the year.

The full video — find it on "The Tonight Show" YouTube page — features Cole, Shamar Stephen, Jeff Locke and Shaun Hill from the Vikings as well as a number of Packers players, including running back Eddie Lacy.

The Gophers played with more urgency, but it wasn’t enough to keep them from another conference sweep, and they lost LJ Mooney to injury in the process.
