I'm happy to see Hank Jr back in the opening theme for Monday Night Football, but I can't say I'm a big fan of the remix that now features Florida Georgia Line and Jason Derulo.
Following a 26-yard Dalvin Cook run that ended just shy of the endzone, the Vikings looked to Duluth native CJ Ham to hammer it home for his first career touchdown.
We see all sorts of celebrations in the end zone, some NFL players have fans that wait to see what they are going to do next. Some of the players get really creative and some just spike the ball. This year the officials have to call a foul if a team spends too much time in the end zone.
Next week, the Minnesota Vikings will begin their 52nd training camp in Mankato. The team has also announced that this will be the final year that camp will be held there.
Minnesota will host the next Super Bowl and as part of the Super Bowl Legacy Grant Program, which is made possible each year by a $1 million contribution courtesy of the NFL Foundation and is matched and exceeded by the Super Bowl Host Committee, Duluth's Lincoln Park will receive a nice grant.
There is always a football player that has to ham it up in the end zone to celebrate a score. Remember the "Dirty Bird"? More and more players are getting flags for excessive celebrations in the end zone. It hasn't stopped anyone. So I say, let them go and do it, let's see what they come up with.
The first week of the NFL season, Eric Kendricks won the NFC Defensive Player Of The Week Award. Then, not to be outdone, Stefon Diggs won the NFC Offensive Player Of The Week Award after the week two victory over the Packers. Now, after week 3, it was time for the defense to win again.
