Vikings plane slides off runway while taxiing, gets stuck
Though they still have a chance to make the playoffs, the Minnesota Vikings would likely be better off fast forwarding to the end of 2016.
Despite a safe landing in Green Bay ahead of Saturday's game against the Packers, the Vikings' airliner slid off the runway and became stuck.
A source told ESPN's Ben Goessling that everyone on the plane is unharmed after arriving at about 5:30 ET. After approximately four and half hours of sitting on the runway, passengers began to exit, according to radio play-by-play announcer Paul Allen.

We boarded busses at Winter Park around 130 pm. 48-min flight to Appleton. It's 9 bleeping PM. HOW'S YOUR DAY GOING? #VikingsTrapped

Things were even worse for receiver/kick returner Cordarrelle Patterson as he apparently sat on a banana during the troubling journey.
