Vikings play Duck Duck Goose after Rudolph Week 5 touchdown
By Adam Carlson
The Minnesota Vikings found a fun and unique way to celebrate a Week 5 touchdown from Keenum to Rudolph during Monday Night Football on October 9, 2017.
In a game that felt like a touchdown would never come, fans watching the Minnesota Vikings take on the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football in Week 5 finally got to see a touchdown and a celebration.
The touchdown play was a nice one that showed a lot of patience and mobility as well as solid blocking, it is the group celebration that Minnesota used which had people on social media going wild!
Here is the play as shared on the Twitter account of ESPN:
After taking the snap from center Pat Elflein, quarterback Case Keenum looked for his target and didn’t see anything. Tucking the ball in, he rolled to his right to either look for a receiver or pick up some yards on the ground.
Once the defender came up to stop Keenum, the decision was easy. On the run, Keenum made an easy throw to a wide-open Kyle Rudolph, which was caught for a touchdown to give the Vikings a 10-2 lead in the 3rd quarter after the Forbath extra point.
But the fun part of the play came in the celebration when several Minnesota players formed a circle in the end zone and played the popular children’s game Duck, Duck, Goose (or Grey Duck) in front of the Chicago crowd as seen in this video from the team’s Twitter account.
