Jerick McKinnon's First TD a Photo Finish
MINNEAPOLIS — Paul Allen was a man on a mission.
Camera phone in hand, the “Voice of the Vikings” radio announcer sought out Jerick McKinnon in the locker room after the Vikings defeated the Bears 38-17.
Allen had McKinnon hold up one finger, representative of the second-year running back’s first NFL touchdown, a 17-yard reception from Teddy Bridgewater with 26 seconds left in the first half.
Fullback Zach Line observed and gently brought up the fact that Allen had just asked him to hold up three fingers. Line’s 4-yard touchdown reception provided the game’s final points and was the third of the season. He ended with an impressive dive across the goal line and inside of the orange pylon.
