Well, let’s try talking about something relating to football on the field, shall we? It’s even positive news for the Minnesota Vikings!
Rookie running back Kene Nwangwu was named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week on Wednesday for his performance in the team’s 34-31 overtime loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 9.
Nwangwu, playing in just his second NFL game after missing the early portion of the season with an injury, returned two kickoffs for a combined 121 yards on Sunday, including a big 98-yard return for a touchdown to start the second half.
