Facing Vikings is ‘just a normal game’ for Case Keenum

Vikings fans will forever remember quarterback Case Keenum for the Minneapolis Miracle two years ago.

Keenum was a big part of the team finishing with a 13-3 record in 2017, advancing all the way to the NFC championship game.

Keenum, now the starting QB for the Washington Redskins, will play his former team on Thursday night. Keenum treats this game the same as he would any other.

“There’s really no need to get more amped for any game in this league, especially when you’re playing a team like this with a great defense,” Keenum said via NFL.com. “We’ve got to give it everything we’ve got no matter what. I’ve played long enough to where I feel like if I keep going, I might play against my old team every week. It’s just a normal game for me.”

There’s probably a pretty good chance Keenum gets some sort of applause from the fans prior to the game. But after that, it will be the Redskins trying to improve to 2-6, and the Vikings trying to improve to 6-2.
