Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph might not be in as much of a pass-catching role as he was in the past, but the’s still finding the end zone.
In 2019, Rudolph has 33 catches for just 301 yards. With that, though, Rudolph has already caught six touchdowns, up two from last season. He’s caught all six touchdowns in the last six weeks and has five in the last four weeks, including a two touchdown performance against the Cowboys in Week 10.
It is pretty remarkable that Rudolph has been able to find the end zone as much as he has in his career. His 47 receiving touchdowns rank fifth in team history, just three behind Sammy White for fourth place.
Rudolph will have his next chance to find the end zone on Sunday against the Lions at U.S. Bank Stadium. In 15 career games against the Lions, Rudolph has 61 catches for 617 yards and nine touchdowns.
