At least, that's what pregame tears suggested for this 32-year old, two-time Pro Bowler.

The tears were in the eyes of fullback C.J. Ham:

Ham was an undrafted player out of Augustana in South Dakota. It's astounding that he's played now 141 games in the NFL.

He's been a successful fullback even in an era when fullbacks have gone out of vogue.

All 141 of Ham's games have come with the Vikings.

He has 83 career catches for 675 yards and two touchdowns, along with 41 runs for 118 yards and five more TDs.

The Vikings won't be in the playoffs, so Ham could be seeing his career end soon.
