Minnesota Vikings play leapfrog in hilarious touchdown celebration

Updated October 15, 2020 at 8:54 p.m.·1 min read

The Minnesota Vikings are currently the team to watch -- if what you want to watch is grown men playing children's games on a football field.

The Vikings are capitalizing on the NFL's relaxed touchdown celebration rules this season. Earlier this year, tight end Kyle Rudolph and his teammates staged a game of 'duck, duck, goose' after a score against the Bears, but they may have outdone themselves on Sunday.

After a touchdown by Adam Thielen against Washington in Week 10, the Vikings dropped to the ground for a round of leapfrog in the end zone.

It's an @athielen19 TD...

The hilarious celebration instantly jumped to the top of this season's touchdown celebrations, which also include a round of hide-and-seek by the Steelers and a few games of baseball from the Eagles.
