WATCH: Vikings give priceless reaction to Sam Darnold after Packers win

Sam Darnold was welcomed with a spectacular celebration in the Vikings locker room after beating the Packers.

Sam Darnold got quite the reception in the locker room following the Minnesota Vikings’ 27-25 win over the Green Bay Packers.

He was welcomed into the locker room by a shower of water bottles. Teammates then hoisted him on their shoulders and began singing.

Darnold admitted that he didn’t quite know what to do after getting picked up, leading to a funny dance while on his teammates’ shoulders.

“I didn’t know what to do with my hands in that situation,” Darnold said, via The Star Tribune‘s Ben Goessling, “Ricky Bobby-style.”

It was an image of how close this locker room has been during the 2024 season. Players and coaches have repeatedly discussed how “special” this team is. On top of the skill sets across the team, the comradery has the team one win away from holding home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.

Darnold has put together the best season of his seven-year NFL career. If he can keep playing like he has the past two months, this team could make a deep playoff run.
