Adrian Peterson leaves game early, calls out fans

Minnesota Vikings RB Adrian Peterson left Sunday's game early with an ankle injury and even reportedly left the stadium for a while to have a magnetic resonance imaging test on the ankle.

Peterson, who left the game early in the second quarter after Ravens linebacker Arthur Brown fell on his foot making a tackle, took to Twitter to share his frustration.

Minutes after the Vikings lost on a Joe Flacco touchdown to Marlon Brown, Peterson tweeted:

"Wow talking about bad officiating & the worst fan base I've ever experience! They threw snow balls the entire 4q like lil kids. Smh."

The game was already being played during a snowstorm so we can understand his frustration with that...sheesh! Peterson also complained about the officiating.

Peterson, who entered the week as the league's rushing leader, had 13 yards on seven carries before leaving the game. He was replaced by Toby Gerhart in the second half.

Gerhart scored what at the time appeared to be a possible game-winning touchdown with 1:27 left. However, there were three more TDs after that play, two by the Ravens and one from Minnesota's Cordarrelle Patterson.

Minnesota coach Leslie Frazier said Peterson has a right foot sprain and will have an MRI tomorrow.

FOX sideline reporter Jennifer Hale reported that Peterson left the stadium during the game to undergo an MRI test at a local hospital. Peterson had later returned to the sideline out of uniform and wearing tennis shoes.

These snowy conditions have already caused quite a few injures.
