Patrick Peterson does penalty kick celebration while Vikings defeat New York Giants 27-24

The Minnesota Vikings defense celebrated an interception early in the fourth quarter against the New York Giants with a special twist.

Vikings all-pro corner Patrick Peterson intercepted a pass from Daniel Jones and after the defense ran to the endzone to celebrate Peterson and fellow defensive back Duke Shelly reenacted a penalty kick in the spirit of the recently completed World Cup.

Shelly emulated a goalkeeper diving as Peterson pretended to run up to the spot and kick the football on the ground pretending to kick it, and then sliding on his knees in celebration.

Peterson’s Vikings would go on to win an absolute nail biter of a game that came down to a 61-yard game winning field goal with only four seconds left in the game.

New York was denied it’s first playoff appearance since 2016, as they will need to wait another week to hope to clinch a post season berth.

Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson also broke all-time great Randy Moss’s Viking’s single season receiving record when he finished the game with 12 catches for 133 yards and a touchdown.
