Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen caught his first career touchdown pass in the 13-9 victory over the Bears on Sunday, but it wasn't even the best catch on the play.
After Thielen reached the endzone, he raced over the sidelined and toss the ball into the stands to his fiancé, Caitlin. Thielen had to throw it up a few rows in the section but later found out she did retrieve the football.
"She's got better hands than I do," said Thielen, after he found out she posted a picture of the football on Twitter.
Thielen finished with three catches for a team-high 68 yards, while scoring the only touchdown in the game. He was wide open on the Bears' busted coverage. Rookie quarterback Teddy Bridgewater threw an accurate pass as Thielen went untouched for the score.
"It was awesome," Thielen said. "It feels a lot better since we got the win on the last game of the season. We didn't care how we won, we just wanted to get that 'W.'"
It's Thielen's second career touchdown. He scored his first on a blocked punt returned for a touchdown in Week 14 against the Jets.
