When Minnesota Vikings cornerback Captain Munnerlyn and his teammates head to Charlotte for Sunday’s game with the Carolina Panthers, for most of the players, it’s just another day at the office against a daunting opponent that hasn’t lost at home in nearly two years.

The Panthers’ Bank of America Stadium is just a few blocks from the site of Wednesday night’s clashes between protesters and police that resulted in 44 arrests and 10 reported injuries. “I also wish for a full recovery for those who have been injured”.
