Filtered by the Fan: Which Play Was the Biggest Against the Saints?

[Viktor]

Adam Thielen’s 43-yard overtime reception


Of course, Rudolph’s play isn’t possible without the Vikings being near the goal line, and it was Thielen who helped make that happen. The Vikings had the ball at the New Orleans 45 when Thielen worked up the field on Saints cornerback Patrick Robinson, and gained a yard or two of separation around the 20-yard line. Cousins’ pass floated into Thielen’s hands just inside the 5-yard line before he was touched down at the 2. Thielen calmly flipped the ball to the ref, capping his day at seven catches for 129 yards, none bigger than his final reception.
