Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen had the fortunes of enjoying some post-game turkey after helping his team to a pivotal and thrilling home win over the New England Patriots.
Thielen, Justin Jefferson and Kirk Cousins, Minnesota’s three best players on the evening, got the honors of sharing a delicious turkey on the field post-game. Just one minor problem for Thielen: The turkey was a bit dry, and it almost caused him to choke.
Jefferson and Thielen had monster games against one of the NFL’s elite defenses. The former led the way with nine catches for 139 yards and a touchdown. Thielen caught nine passes for 61 yards and a touchdown, including the game-winning TD reception in the fourth quarter.
With the victory, the Vikings improved to 9-2 on the year.
They will have to bring in some sisters to bake the turkey going forward.
The Minnesota Vikings have quickly become a confident and resilient team under rookie coach Kevin O’Connell and his staff, and they sure showed it in this short week.
Kirk Cousins threw for 299 yards and three touchdowns, the last a go-ahead score to Adam Thielen with 9:34 left to push Minnesota past the New England Patriots in a 33-26 victory Thursday night.
Justin Jefferson had 139 receiving yards and one of the touchdown passes from Cousins, who delivered the clutch performance against a formidable defense the Vikings (9-2) needed to bounce back from a blowout loss four days before.
They rebounded multiple times within the game, too. After an overthrow by Cousins was intercepted by Jonathan Jones and returned 55 yards to set up a field goal in the first quarter, the Vikings scored on five straight possessions excluding a kneel-down to end the first half.
“Kevin has empowered me so much. This team has empowered me so much,” said Cousins, who went 30 for 37. “At times, it almost brings me to tears the way these guys support me.”
