The touchdown ball was in C.J. Ham's locker in Eagan on Monday afternoon, but it would soon join what is becoming a home collection for the Vikings fullback. Ham scored his second NFL touchdown — his first receiving score — on a 5-yard pass from quarterback Kirk Cousins during Sunday's 42-30 win in Detroit.
"Haven't seen the end zone in a couple of years," Ham said. "It was definitely a special moment."
Ham, the Duluth native, had a few moments while playing a career-high 39 snaps against the Lions. He scored a touchdown, broke through the Lions defense for a 9-yard run to convert a short third down and helped pave the way for Dalvin Cook's 142 rushing yards.
