Thielen reacting to the Vikings win today is PURE gold

There are few things in this world that I enjoy more than basking in and reinforcing the endorphins that come from a Minnesota Vikings win. Typically, I watch some initial highlights and then drive out to Fort Snelling cemetery to visit my uncle (who was a big part of the Southern California Vikings fan club) while listening to the Vikings fan-line on KFAN. 

Today, though, I may have found something that makes all of my typical post game highlight consumption look like listening to a Garrison Keiller book on Audible. That “something” is Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen reacting to the end of the game. 

Watch this. It’s pure gold. 

It’s as endearing as it is adorable to see Thielen care this much about his team. Especially as he is holding a football in his hands like me during the NFC Championship in 1998. 

As if we needed another reason to love Thielen.
