An iconic moment in Minnesota Vikings history, Randy Moss recently shared a story about the aftermath of his infamous touchdown celebration.
Randy Moss will forever be known as one of the greatest players to ever suit up for the Minnesota Vikings. Moss, who is arguably the best wide receiver to ever play in the NFL, was a part of several Vikings moments that the team’s fan base will never forget.
One of these unforgettable moments took place during Minnesota’s matchup against the rival Green Bay Packers in the wild-card round of the 2004 playoffs.
That day, the Vikings went into Green Bay and embarrassed the Packers inside their home stadium. Minnesota’s victory was capped off by a Moss touchdown catch in the fourth quarter that resulted in an iconic celebration.
Did the Minnesota Vikings enjoy the fake moon celebration from Randy Moss?
Facing a 1st-and-10 from the Green Bay 34-yard line, Vikings quarterback Daunte Culpepper took the snap and fired a pass to his right in the direction of the team’s Hall of Fame receiver.
Moss caught the football around the five-yard line and fell into the end zone for the score. After putting six more points on the board for Minnesota, he got up and headed towards the goal post to share his amazing fake moon celebration.
Recently, Moss was hanging out with another former Vikings player, Tommy Kramer, and the legendary receiver shared a story about his memorable touchdown celebration at Lambeau Field.

You heard that right. The Vikings thought Moss’ celebration was “hilarious.” Obviously, the NFL didn’t think what he did during that game was very funny since they fined him a significant amount of money, as Moss explained in the clip.
At the end of the day, the touchdown celebration was just all in good fun. These guys play a game for a living and Moss was just enjoying his team getting an upset victory over their rival.

Of all the players to ever put on a Minnesota Vikings uniform, which 30 stood out from the pack and should be considered as the absolute best?
It’s not like he literally pulled his pants down on the field to moon anyone. No, he left that for the Packers fans to do in the parking lot before the game.
