Vikings try curling in TD celebration, with mixed results

Hurry hard!

The Minnesota Vikings unleashed a decidedly Canadian celebration after scoring on the opening drive of the NFC championship game.

That’s an attempt at curling. The throw from the hack wasn’t exactly to form – it looked like bowling – but the brushing was absolutely on point. Given that it’s extremely unlikely that any of these guys have ever curled in their lives, it’s a reasonable facsimile (assuming they had a beer afterwards.)

Still, the Ottawa Redblacks keep the title belt for TD celebration of the year for their limbo in the East Semi-Final. If the Vikings use a player as a broom, then we’ll talk.
