OAKDALE, Minn. — Minnesota authorities say Vikings wide receiver Bernard Berrian has been cited for driving 104 mph in a 60-mph zone, days after police clocked teammate Adrian Peterson going 109 mph in a 55-mph area.

Minnesota State Patrol Capt. Matt Langer said yesterday that Berrian was cited for speeding on I-694 in Oakdale about 9:40 p.m. Monday.

A man who answered the cell phone of Berrian's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told The Associated Press yesterday that Rosenhaus wasn't immediately available to comment.

Peterson could lose his license after he was caught speeding Nov. 28.
