Vikings Return 2 Blocked Punts for Touchdowns vs. Panthers

Any fantasy football owner who started the Minnesota Vikings defense/special teams in Week 13 is feeling pretty good right now.

In the first half alone, Minnesota blocked two punts and returned each for touchdowns against the Carolina Panthers.

Midway through the first quarter, Adam Thielen of the Vikings returned a blocked Panthers punt 30 yards to give his team a 14-0 lead.

One quarter later, the Vikings' special teams unit was at it again. This time, Everson Griffen was the one taking the blocked punt to the house.
