Vikings' Ifeadi Odenigbo Reveals Comical Extra Bonus After Fumble Return TD Against Chargers
By Chris Russo
Minnesota Vikings defensive end Ifeadi Odenigbo got more than just a huge fumble return for a touchdown against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.
He got to live out the dream every rejected man hopes to.
#Vikings Ifeadi Odenigbo got over 100 text & Instagram messages after his 56-yard TD fumble return Sunday. "It's unreal. You start hearing from people you haven’t heard from in a long time. … Or some girls that you had no chance with back a couple of years ago, they hit you up."

After running a loose ball back 56 yards for a touchdown in the Vikings' 39-10 victory, Odenigbo apparently got personal attention not just from friends and family, but from girls who spurned him years ago.
As if to try and grab even more female attention, Odegnibo complimented his touchdown with a sack and two tackles.
He actually got another pretty cool gift: a jersey swap with Chargers running back and former Northwestern teammate Justin Jackson.

It's also a perfect time for a confidence booster, as the Vikings face the NFC North-leading Green Bay Packers at home on Monday Night Football this week. The Vikings need a win to prevent the Packers from clinching the division in Minneapolis.. Odenigbo will try to ride his five sacks in the last 10 games and the attention-grabbing high of Instagram messages to victory over Aaron Rodgers.
