Mom of Vikings Player Texted Him to Get Pick-Six Before Titans Game (He Delivered)
The mother of Vikings linebacker Eric Kendricks asked him to get a pick-six before Sunday's game, and he did just that.
The Minnesota Vikings defeated the Tennessee Titans Sunday, 25-16, in part thanks to a pick-six from linebacker Eric Kendricks.
Kendricks picked-off Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota and ran 77 yards for the Vikings' first touchdown of the 2016 season.
After the game, Kendricks took a screen shot of a text message conversation he had with his mom. It turns out, Kendricks' pick-six was called by his mom beforehand.
