EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- The Green Bay Packers will be wise to treat Cordarrelle Patterson carefully this weekend.He has had their attention since his very first play against Minnesotas biggest rival.Patterson set an NFL record that can never be topped as a rookie for the Vikings on Oct. 27, 2013, when he caught the opening kickoff at the Metrodome and returned it 109 yards for a touchdown.The Packers promptly removed punter Tim Masthay from kickoff duty, replacing him with kicker Mason Crosby, but Patterson still tacked on a 51-yarder later that night.The Packers went on to win 44-31 and are 4-1-1 against the Vikings in Pattersons career, but he has produced some of his longest runbacks in games against Green Bay. Holding the all-time franchise record with 11 kickoff returns of 50 or more yards, Patterson has tallied five of them while playing the Packers. In six matchups against them, his average on 18 runbacks is 36.7 yards.We just try to get better each and every week and just focus on whatever team were playing that week, Patterson said, dismissing the notion of saving extra energy for facing the Packers.Patterson, whos in the final year of his contract, could benefit from the new rule that places touchbacks at the 25-yard line.Some kickers legs are not as strong as the others. Some of them cant kick it out of the end zone every time, and some of them will mishit it, Patterson said. Thats an opportunity Ive just got to take advantage of and just help my team out.The Vikings host the Packers on Sunday night in the debut of U.S. Bank Stadium, sending the series back indoors. Crosby is still handling kickoffs, ranking eighth in the league in touchbacks since entering the NFL in 2007.Hopefully we get a couple chances, Vikings special teams coordinator Mike Priefer said.Patterson produced a 61-yard return in the season opener at Tennessee.He doesnt lack confidence or athletic ability. It was really good for him. It was good for our blockers, Priefer said. We preach staying on the blocks and finishing blocks and doing the little things, because we have such a great returner back there. Our guys really block well for him.The Vikings special teams player under more scrutiny these days is kicker Blair Walsh, who missed one of two extra points and two of six field goals in the 25-16 victory over the Titans last week. He infamously hooked left that 27-yard field goal attempt in January that would have sent the Vikings to the next round of the playoffs, too.Hes our guy, but he has to make those kicks, Priefer said. He was disappointed just as much as we were disappointed that he missed them.All four of Walshs made field goals came in the second half, at least.You want to make the other two and be more consistent for your team, Walsh said, but I have been in the past and I know I will be in the future, so Im not going to let one game get under my skin.---Online:AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL coverage on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Dave Campbell on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/DaveCampbellAPFake Vapormax 2 .

Anderson Silva is undefeated at 205, and not just undefeated, but devastatingly undefeated. Every time hes moved up to 205, hes looked better than he did at 185.The new booking comes just one day before official weigh-ins for UFC 200. The fight will be three rounds, White said, because Silva is fighting on two days notice.Anderson is giving Daniel the opportunity to fight, to make money and to perform on UFC 200, White said.

He defeated Nick Diaz at UFC 183 in January 2015, but that result was overturned when Silva failed multiple drug tests for steroids. Arguably the greatest fighter of all time, Silva holds the UFC record for consecutive title defenses with 10.According to White, three options were considered to fight Cormier: Silva, Gegard Mousasi and Dan Henderson. Mousasi is already scheduled to fight on the card, and White said the promotion has other plans for Henderson.Additionally, a female bantamweight title fight between Miesha Tate and Amanda Nunes has been elevated to the UFC 200 main event.
