Four Bold Predictions: Vikings vs. Packers – Week 2
By Adam Patrick
Adam Thielen finds his way to the end zone
Last week, it was Stefon Diggs who was on the receiving end of a touchdown pass from Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins. This week, it will be Thielen who finishes Minnesota’s game against the Packers with at least one trip to the end zone.
During the Vikings’ Week 1 matchup with the San Francisco 49ers, the veteran receiver finished with six catches for 102 yards. However, the closest Thielen got to crossing the goal line was a receptions that brought him to the 49ers’ 25-yard line.
In fact, he hasn’t caught a touchdown pass in any of his last six games (including the playoffs). That streak will end on Sunday against Green Bay.
Going up against a Packers’ secondary that features two rookie defensive backs, Thielen should have no problem getting open and celebrating his first touchdown of the season.
