The elder Greenway attended his first Vikings game and was rewarded for making the trek to South Dakota when the 10-year linebacker caught a deflected pass, ran to the right sideline and picked up an envoy of purple blockers.
“(My grandfather) was in the stands today, and you just have to think my dad tipped the ball up,” Greenway said of his late father, who passed away last December. “That’s all I can put together.”
Greenway’s father’s father is about to turn 83 and was in town from his egg and dairy farm with a huge contingency of family to celebrate the linebacker’s youngest daughter turning 1 this week.
