Adam Thielen – WINNER

Stefon Diggs isn’t the only Vikings’ receiver to have a breakout year in 2016. Adam Thielen has been one of Sam Bradford’s favorite targets all season long. Thielen continued his success against the Arizona Cardinals.

Adam Thielen finished the game with 5 catches for 65 yards and a touchdown.

During the first drive of the game, Thielen had the only two catches of the drive. The first of which was a 22-yard reception from Bradford and to finish the drive, Adam Thielen caught a 16-yard touchdown.

Thielen’s success this season has opened up the field for Sam Bradford. Not only does the defense have to worry about Stefon Diggs, now they must account for Thielen. Let’s hope for continued production from Adam Thielen!
