EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — Randy Moss is looking forward to his first real game at the Metrodome since he left the Minnesota Vikings more than five years ago.

The organization was tired of his attitude when they traded him to Oakland in 2005, but Moss has remained popular in Minnesota — with purple No. 84 jerseys often appearing at games long after his departure.

Those fans will be rewarded for their loyalty on Sunday when the Vikings host the Dallas Cowboys, Moss’s first true appearance at the Metrodome since he left. He did play against the Vikings in a preseason game with the Raiders in 2006.

Moss said this week he’s excited and doesn’t know “whether to be nervous or what” about the experience.
