Vikings cornerback Chris Cook has changed his Twitter handle to Cook_Isle.

And now he feels like he has been stranded on it.

With less than 30 seconds to play, Jaquars quarterback Blaine Gabbert found receiver Cecil Shorts for a sprawling, diving 39-yard touchdown -- while Cook had the best seat in the house for the action.

The play erased a five-point deficit and wiped out a two-touchdown performance by Vikings running back Adrian Peterson.

Of course, it’s not over, yet. The Vikings have the ball and a chance to drive into field-goal position.
