The second-year player from Iowa has become a fan favorite in Minnesota. His likeness to the Norseman logo has earned him his nickname and the respect of his teammates. His performance on Sunday solidified his place in Vikings history.
The first-quarter touchdown catch set the tone for the rest of his performance. Hockenson created separation from the defender and hauled in the touchdown pass from quarterback Kirk Cousins. He finished the game with seven receptions for 130 yards and one touchdown. His 130 receiving yards were the most ever by a Vikings tight end in a single game.
Hockenson also took home the NFC Offensive Player of the Week award for his performance on Sunday. He is the first Viking to receive the award since Cousins in Week 11 of 2018.
