EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — A moment C.J. Ham had been waiting for was even better because he waited a little longer.
Ham, a former star at Duluth’s Denfeld High School, made his NFL debut for the Vikings last week in Cincinnati.
Ham entered the Minnesota backfield in the third quarter but handled the bulk of the carries, rushing on 12 of the Vikings 25 attempts for 35 of the team’s 56 rush yards. His night was highlighted by a 10-yard touchdown run that capped a 74-yard drive and gave the Vikings a 10-point lead with 1:44 left in the third quarter.
