Cordarrelle Patterson got his

Praised entering the Week 13 battle against his former team, New England Patriots playmaker Cordarrelle Patterson was predicted to make some big plays and he did that Sunday afternoon.

Nicknamed “The Experiment” by Tom Brady, Patterson was used in a few different ways to help the Patriots’ offense move the ball against the Vikings.  He had just two catches for 53 yards, but both were big plays that put his team in scoring position.

One of the plays was a basically short pass that he took down the sideline with his speed.  The other was the type of play that wowed everyone during training camp.

On a first-and-15 play in the third quarter, Cordarrelle Patterson showed off some wide receiver skills by making a great, low to the ground catch for a 29-yard gain.  The play not only showed off his hands, but how pumped up he was to make big plays against the team that drafted him in the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft.

Patterson also got touch running the ball and of course had a couple opportunities during kickoff returns.  His 53 yards receiving, however, was impactful in the team’s win.

For that, Cordarrelle Patterson got some nice revenge against the Vikings.
