Former Vikings CB Loses Mind on Sideline, Shoves Texans Coach into Oblivion

The Minnesota Vikings season ended on Monday night after a loss against the Rams. While they aren’t still competing in the NFL playoffs, they have ties to plenty of teams that are. Of course, with the NFL dominating televisions across the country, plenty of eyes remain dialed in.

The Minnesota Vikings’ season came to a close on Monday night with a defeat to the Rams. Although they’re no longer in the running for the NFL playoffs, they have connections to several teams still in the game. With the NFL capturing the attention of viewers nationwide, fans are keeping their eyes glued to the action.

You probably didn’t expect one of those players with Vikings ties to make such a quick impact. It was a pretty hilarious one though.

Kris Boyd has the same Minnesota Vikings problems

On the opening kickoff during the first AFC divisional matchup the Kansas City Chiefs nearly took it to the house. While a tackle was made, and a fumble nearly created a turnover, special teamer Kris Boyd was the focal point.

Samaje Perine recovered the fumble for the Chiefs. Boyd then lost his mind and threw his helmet, which gave Kansas City another 15 yards of field position. As he came to the sideline, he then shoved special teams coordinator Frank Ross nearly into next week. This would all be a bit more shocking if it wasn’t exactly what Vikings fans came to expect from Boyd. If you remember this offseason, when Mike Zimmer went scorched earth, he threw Boyd under the bus as well.

This is Boyd’s sixth season in the NFL and his second with Houston. You have to believe, win or lose, this could be his last game with them after that stunt.

With the Vikings, Boyd played 51% of the defensive snaps during 2020. No one was in the stands so they couldn’t see how rough that production was, but he has been exclusively a special teams player since.

Emotions run high in the postseason, and the Texans are certainly trying to pull the upset. Still, a boneheaded decision made worse by shoving a coach, is never going to be a good look.
