Camryn Bynum had a huge night on Monday. The Minnesota Vikings safety came away with not just one but two interceptions in the clutch against the San Francisco 49ers to help preserve his team's lead.
After the game, Bynum was interviewed by Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, and the 25-year-old defensive back, instead of talking mostly about his performance and Minnesota's 22-17 victory, opened up about his wife's struggles in trying to get from the Philippines to the United States due to visa issues.
Camryn Bynum always plays for his family’s country, the Philippines. His wife is currently stuck there because of visa issues.

Bynum is of Filipino descent and he's incredibly proud of his heritage. He's even participated in volunteer missions to the Philippines, where he also married his wife last March. Hopefully, his wife will be able to sort out her visa troubles and be with Camryn as soon as possible.
Bynum helped seal the win for the Vikings over San Francisco with back-to-back picks of 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy late in the fourth period. Those were also his first two interceptions of the season, giving him five total since he entered the league in 2021 as a fourth-round pick by the Vikings in that same year's NFL Draft.
The Vikings are rolling
Apart from Bynum, quarterback Kirk Cousins and wide receiver Jordan Addison also had huge roles in the Vikings' win against the Niners. Cousins went 35-of-45 for 378 passing yards and two touchdowns with an interception, while Addison exploded for a game-high 123 receiving yards and two touchdowns on seven receptions and 10 targets.
Minnesota is on the rise despite the absence of star wide receiver Justin Jefferson, and it will look to keep the good times rolling in Week 8 against the Green Bay Packers.
