Nick Mullens is the Minnesota Vikings’ fourth quarterback this season, following Kirk Cousins, Joshua Dobbs, and Jaren Hall. He’s been up and down during Minnesota’s Sunday game against the Detroit Lions, with big plays for both teams, but I found this reaction to a sack from Detroit safety Ifeatu Melifonwu late in the second quarter… because I have never seen a quarterback do this before. Melifonwu got home free on an overload blitz, sacked Mullens, and then Mullens… bowed to his opponent.
No, really.
A fascinating reaction from Nick Mullens. pic.twitter.com/WVgrEEdbSu

Because I’m a nerd, I went back and watched all of Mullen’s sacks this season, and he’s never done THAT before. Perhaps Mullens was binging “Karate Kid” movies this week, but I’m not sure that’s acceptable behavior in that particular dojo.
