The Minnesota Vikings beat the New Orleans Saints 28-25 in a game that was closer than it had any right to be.
The Vikings allowed the Saints to get back into the game and had to rely on two drives from starting quarterback Kirk Cousins to get them into a position to win. Thankfully, they were aided by multiple penalties on the touchdown drive that helped them get the lead.
After the game, Cousins and the Vikings both celebrated the win on the field and Cousins did so in a way that is very familiar to the Vikings: he hit the Griddy.

Egged on by cornerback and special teams ace Kris Boyd, Cousins hit it on his way into the tunnel and it wasn’t half bad. It’s not on the same level as star wide receiver Justin Jefferson but it’s much-improved over his first attempt in week 17 of the 2020 season.
