Isaiah Rodgers is having the game of his professional life at U.S. Bank Stadium this afternoon, as he’s probably already sewn up NFC Defensive Player of the Week honors, and has set an NFL record in the process.
Rodgers has an 87-yard pick six, a 66-yard fumble return for a touchdown, and another forced fumble in the Vikings’ game against the Cincinnati Bengals this afternoon. He is now the first player in NFL history to have a fumble return touchdown, an interception return touchdown, and two forced fumbles in one game.
Let me emphasize. . .Rodgers has done this in one half of play.
Rodgers came over this offseason as a free agent signing from the Philadelphia Eagles, and Brian Flores was very happy to have brought him into the fold. Now, we’re starting to see why.
Rodgers’ performance is a big part of the reason that the Vikings are currently up on the Bengals by a score of 34-3 at halftime this afternoon at U.S. Bank Stadium.
What can the young man do for an encore?
