Vikings CB Xavier Rhodes issues apology for outburst in Week 13

This hasn’t been a great year for Xavier Rhodes. The Minnesota Vikings defender has struggled immensely this season and looks like a shell of the shutdown cornerback fans and analysts believed he had become over the years.

Those frustrations boiled over in Week 13. After giving up a 60-yard touchdown to Seahawks wide receiver David Moore in the final minute of the third quarter, Rhodes was visibly upset as he left the field and appeared to be very vocal on the sidelines, throwing his helmet to the ground.

According to the Star Tribune, Rhodes regrets his outburst and feels bad about his response to the play as well as his actions on the sideline, particular toward his head coach.
