NFL Network goes full “Heidi Game
Womens Trae Waynes Jersey ,” cuts off final minutes of Vikings/Jaguars When the NFL Network announced earlier in the year that the Week 2 preseason
contest between the Minnesota Vikings and the Jacksonville Jaguars would be
featured on their channel, most people. . .including those well outside of the
Twin Cities market like myself. . .assumed that it would be the entire game.Not
so much.The Jaguars got a go-ahead touchdown from Brandon Wilds to take a 14-10
lead over the Vikings with less than two minutes remaining and the Vikings still
holding all three of their time outs. Rather than sticking with the action at
U.S. Bank Stadium, however, the NFL Network apparently thought it would be a
much better idea to switch to the opening kickoff of the second game of their
Saturday quadruple-header, as fans everywhere saw the beginning of the game
between the Oakland Raiders and the Los Angeles Rams.It was a bit of a throwback
to the “Heidi Game” from many years ago. In that 1968 contest between the
Raiders and the New York Jets, NBC cut away from their game to the beginning of
the movie Heidi, and missed the Raiders scoring two touchdowns in the final
minute to turn a 32-29 Jets lead into a 43-32 Raiders victory. The Vikings
ultimately ended up falling short on their final drive

ultimately doesn’t mean anything. Still, for the folks that live outside of the
regular market for these games, it would have been appropriate for the NFL
Network to show the game all the way to its conclusion. The game will be
replayed on the NFL Network on Tuesday, 21 August at 9:00 AM Central if anyone
would like to watch the last couple of minutes after missing it the first time.
Throughout the entire history of the Minnesota Vikings, they have never had a
receiver lead the National Football League in receiving yardage. Randy Moss
currently holds the team’s single-season record for receiving yards in a season
with 1

finished second to Torry Holt (1,696) that season.Through the first six games of
the 2018 season, Adam Thielen is currently leading the National Football League
in receiving yardage, and we asked fans if they thought #19 has a chance to take
down Moss’ single-season Vikings receiving yardage record. Thielen currently has
712 yards, and would have to average 92 yards/game from here on out to tie Moss’
mark. If he kept up his current pace. . .118.7 yards/game. . .He would finish
with 1,899 yards. Not only would that shatter the Vikings’ team
record
Womens George Iloka Jersey , it would put him at #2 on the list of most receiving yards in a season in NFL history, just short of the 1,964 yards that
Calvin Johnson put up in 2012.With all precincts reporting, it looks as though
our FanPulse voters think that Thielen is going to make it happen.A full 70% of
our voters this week think that Adam Thielen is going to put his name in the
Vikings’ record books by surpassing Moss’ single-season record. (It also gives
the graph a very Pac-Man-esque look, which is nice.)If Thielen can do that, he
stands a very good chance of achieving something that neither Moss, nor Cris
Carter
Dalvin Cook Jersey , nor Anthony Carter, nor any other Minnesota Vikings’ receiver has ever accomplished. . .leading the National Football League in
receiving yardage.What do you think, folks? Can he do it?
