Tight end Tyler Conklin has minimized concerns so far that Vikings fans had following news that starter Irv Smith, Jr. would miss the entire season following meniscus surgery. After two decent games to open the 2021 season, Conklin turned in the best game of his four-year career against the Seahawks on Sunday.

Conklin became involved in the gameplan early. Following a Seattle touchdown to open the game, Kirk Cousins found Conklin for 17 yards. Four plays later at the Seattle 7-yard line, Conklin beat Seahawks’ linebacker Jordyn Brooks on an out-route near the goal-line.
