The first touchdown at U.S. Bank Stadium, the new home of the Minnesota Vikings, didn’t turn out as well as home fans would have hoped. It was a first quarter Green Bay touchdown.
And even though the drive wasn’t an ideal way to ring in a new stadium, the stat line is surprisingly Minnesotan. It’s an homage to Prince, the Vikings fan and music legend who unfortunately passed away earlier this year. Prince’s full name is Prince Rogers Nelson. Aaron Rodgers threw that touchdown to Jordy Nelson.
Rodgers to Nelson. Really.
