Widnes Vikings meet Minnesota Vikings

Widnes Vikings met up with Minnesota Vikings’ KJ Osborn on Wednesday as the two Vikings clubs came together at the NFL Flag National Championship in Loughborough.

Danny Craven and Jack Owens met Minnesota wide receiver Osborn, as 12 primary schools from across the country competed for the Championship title.

Minnesota Vikings were in the UK for the week as they promote their NFL Week Four clash with New Orleans Saints at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 2nd October 2022.

Minnesota wanted to connect with other sports clubs while they were over in the UK, so we decided to unite the two Vikings clubs with a meet-up and shirt exchange.

KJ took on our spin pass challenge, as well as our Rugby League quiz while Danny and Jack answered questions on NFL. KJ also watched some clips of Widnes in action, with some interesting reactions!

The series of videos will be posted on our social media pages over the next few days, so keep an eye out on our Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.

You can watch the first video in the series below, as KJ reacts to clips of Widnes Vikings while Jack and Danny help out by explaining different parts of Rugby League to him.
