Watch: Kyle Rudolph Makes Sick Catch for First Touchdown of Season

The Minnesota Vikings are not off to a great start at 0-3.

The Minnesota Vikings are not off to a great start at 0-3. But for their star tight end and Notre Dame product Kyle Rudolph, one play was worth the wait. During the Vikings’ 31-30 loss to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, Rudolph made a tough catch for his first touchdown of 2020. For the moment, it looked like the kind of play that would give the Vikings the momentum they needed to earn their first win of the season:

Rudolph’s touchdown was one of only two receptions he had out of three targets on the day. Those receptions were good for 11 yards. He now has four receptions for 39 yards through the first three games of the season.

Hopefully for the sake of Rudolph and really the entire Vikings offense, Kirk Cousins can get back to being the player he’s known to be. As of right now, Rudolph is on pace for the least productive season of his 10-year NFL career, the entirety of which has been with Minnesota. They say all things must pass, but it’s unlikely Rudolph is ready to leave the game just yet.
