The Minnesota Vikings knew they needed to come out strong against the Detroit Lions during their Week 12 game on Thanksgiving since it was a high-profile NFC North game against a team they already lost to once this season.
Minnesota did just that, holding the Lions to a 3 and out on their opening drive. Then, the Vikings offense methodically took the ball and made a statement by driving down the field for a touchdown.
The first touchdown of the game for Minnesota saw the quarterback connect with the tight end. Here is that play as shared by the Vikings on Twitter:
Despite missing the extra point, this touchdown gave the Vikings an early 6-0 lead and set a fun tone for the game.
