Recently signed former Bears CB makes a key play for the Vikings
Former Bears' CB Duke Shelley was recently signed by the Vikings. In fact, he was signed less than a week ago by his new team.
Well, he wasted no time making impactful plays for the Vikings.
Indeed, he was one of the heroes in Minnesota's incredible wins against the Buffalo Bills.
After Minnesota kicked a field goal on the first possession of overtime, Buffalo had a chance and drove all the way down the field to the Vikings' 20-yard line. Josh Allen threw to tight end Dawson Knox in the end zone, and Shelley perfectly timed his leap and broke up the pass � just one play before Peterson picked off Allen to end the game.
For the record, Knox is listed at 6-foot-4. And Shelley? He measures in at 5-9.
"That guy has continued since day one showing up here at our facility. He's been a guy that just continues to show that he's got the ability to make those plays and that he's confident in himself, he's very smart and instinctive, applies the experience that he's had at some other stops to playing a role in our defense," Vikings Head Coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday. "I think we'll be able to find some spots for both him and Andrew [Booth, Jr.] to continue to get some playing time and get in there and help us."
Here is the play in question. It's nice to see former Bears making plays like that!
