Adam Thielen's well-documented rise now approaching historic heights

WARE, England — On Sunday, the Vikings will play their third game in London in the past nine years. Go searching for an image from their games there, and you're almost guaranteed to come across one of a touchdown celebration in their second game, from a player who was on the practice squad for the first game, is still on the team for the third one and probably wasn't supposed to be there for any of them.

After Adam Thielen caught an 18-yard touchdown pass from Case Keenum at Twickenham Stadium in 2017, he slid into the back of the end zone on his knees with both fists in the air, mimicking a soccer player after scoring a goal.
