#Adam Thielen spit out NBC turkey after Vikings’ Thanksgiving win

“Adam Thielen spit out NBC turkey after Vikings’ Thanksgiving win”

Don’t feed Vikings receiver Adam Thielen dry turkey.

After he helped lead Minnesota to a Thanksgiving Day win over the Patriots, 33-26, Thielen, along with Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins and wide receiver Justin Jefferson ate turkey legs on the field, where Thielen nearly choked on his before spitting it out on the sidelines.

“It’s a little dry,” he told NBC Sports sideline reporter Melissa Stark. Jefferson, meanwhile, was laughing at Thielen, who began coughing on camera.

The Vikings players were invited to eat the ceremonious turkey as part of the NFL’s holiday tradition, which Cousins said is “great memory,” referring to doing the same with Washington after a win over the Giants in 2017.

Jefferson added that he couldn’t eat turkey legs with his teammates because he was wearing diamond mouthgear.

“I gotta take my grillz out to eat it,” he said.

The trio contributed clutch performances in a bounce-back win against the Patriots, following a blowout loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.

Cousins connected on 30 of 37 pass attempts for 299 yards and three touchdowns — two of which targeted Jefferson and Thielen.

Jefferson finished with nine catches for 139 yards and touchdown, breaking Randy Moss’s NFL record 4,163 receiving yards in a player’s first three seasons along the way. Thielen added nine catches for 61 yards and the 52nd TD catch of his career.
