Kyle Rudolph has been a key component of the Vikings passing attack as of late.
Minnesota’s tight end has 13 receptions in his past two games, his highest catch total in consecutive games in his NFL career.
When Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer was asked if he feels Rudolph had one of his best games of the season against Atlanta, he gave what he described as “a long answer for yes.”
“Kyle is a very conscientious kid. Obviously he’s kind of a receiver at heart, he wants to catch the ball like everybody does, he’s kind of bought in to the concept as well about, ‘This is who we are, and I don’t know when my opportunity is going to come, but when it does, I have to take advantage of it,’ ” Zimmer said in his weekly press conference Monday.
