T.J. Hockenson Nets Two Touchdowns Despite Loss

T.J. Hockenson Nets Two Touchdowns Despite Loss

one year ago

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson came down with 7-of-8 targets for 66 yards and two touchdowns in Thursday's 34-28 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The 26-year-old made a couple of nice grabs during a second-quarter drive, topped off with a tackle-breaking five-yard score to get Minnesota on the board after their lethargic first period. Hockenson wasn't turned to much, until another three-catch 39-yard series saw him hit paydirt once more on Minnesota's final drive of the evening. The two-time Pro Bowler has now collected 15-of-17 targets across his first two contests, picking up right where he left after pacing for a 100-catch season upon landing with the Vikings last year. Hockenson is a high-end TE1 in Minny's pass-centric offense for Week 3's date with the Los Angeles Chargers.
