Every Tuesday, eight-time Pro Bowler, three-time First-Team All-Pro and current Minnesota Vikings cornerback Patrick Peterson and two-time Super Bowl champion Bryant McFadden discuss what’s happening in the NFL world on and off the field. This week, Peterson broke down some of the biggest moments from the Vikings’ 33-30 overtime victory at the Buffalo Bills in Week 10, a game he sealed with his second interception of quarterback Josh Allen.

“I had the best seat in the house, right there on the sideline. As soon as he caught it, I damn near jumped out of my jacket. ‘Oh, my God he really just caught that ball’ is what I thought while also thinking hurry up.”
