VIDEO: Vikings WR Adam Thielen Weighs in on Interaction With Pete Carroll Over Absurd PI Challenge
By Thomas Carannante
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen already seems to be in midseason form. He made a few nice plays during his team's win over Seattle on Sunday night, but Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll tried to sabotage his best catch. Carroll challenged that Thielen committed pass interference (on a play where he clearly did not) and the Vikings wideout went over to the Seahawks' sideline to give the coach a piece of his mind.
“I said, ‘If that’s PI, I should probably quit football, because it’s not for me.“

I mean, Pete, you simply cannot be challenging this. You trying to ruin the NFL?

Thielen's response couldn't have been more spot on, and if we're being honest, if that was ruled pass interference, we'd probably stop watching the NFL too.
