Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen made history Sunday versus the Chicago Bears when he hauled in a four-yard touchdown pass from Kirk Cousins early in the first quarter to put the Vikings up 6-0. The touchdown reception was Thielen’s 55th in his career. He has now tied former Washington player Hugh Taylor for the third-most receiving touchdowns by an undrafted player in NFL history.
Cousins hit wide receiver KJ Osborn for a 66-yard connection, which set the Vikings up with first and goal from the four-yard line. The Vikings then ran a play-action pass and hit Thielen wide-open in the end zone for the touchdown.
