Randy Moss had a Thanksgiving in 1998 worth remembering. Here are a dozen did-you-knows

One of the most memorable days in the last quarter-century of Vikings history was, well, a quarter-century ago. Twenty-five Thanksgivings ago, Randy Moss made it clear that he was unlike any other rookie receiver the league had ever seen. He had his coming-out party (Lambeau Field, Oct. 5, Monday Night Football, 190 yards, 2 touchdowns) the month prior. He had just crushed the Packers again the week before the Dallas trip (Metrodome, eight catches for 153 and 1). And on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 26, 1998, with America watching and digesting dinner, he left no doubt: he was taking over the title of NFL's most exciting player.
