The Interesting Stuff vs Cardinals
- What is up with the starting running back? This is a game where Dalvin Cook was expected to make his return to the starting lineup but ended up being inactive. While he may not be essential for the team until Week 8 against the Saints, it would be nice to see him on the field showing off his speed, acceleration, and elusiveness.
- The streaks continue. Adam Thielen has another 100-yard receiving game and Danielle Hunter has another sack. The consistency of these two guys is amazing. This has been a trend all season long and I’m hopeful that it is one that will never end.
- What is that celebration? I’m no dance expert, but I’m baffled by the touchdown “dance”. They said it was the “Bernie” from Fortnite on the broadcast, but I only know one version of the Bernie…and it looks nothing like that. However, we now know it’s called the “Dead Arm Dance” which is something Thielen did in college.
- Is that Dikembe Mutombo? The Cardinals had themselves a good day when it came to batting away Kirk Cousins passes at the line of scrimmage, swatting 6 of them away. At least they weren’t doing the finger waggle afterward.
- Moving on up! With his performance in this game, Adam Thielen passes Bill Brown and Paul Flatley on the Vikings list of all-time leading receivers to take the 12th position on the list. Up next is John Gilliam with 3,297 career yards with the purple and gold!
