Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum had the best season of his career with the Minnesota Vikings, but even with that storyline hanging over Thursday Night's game, he is treating it as a normal game.
The last play in US Bank Stadium for Keenum was the Minneapolis Miracle that sent the Vikings to the NFC Championship game. He said that being in Minnesota was ‘special' but this week wasn't the time to think about that.
“On short weeks when we’re playing Thursday night, there’s not enough time to reminisce,” Keenum said via the Washington Redskins team website. “It’s a special time, it’s a special play, special group of guys, something I’ll remember forever, but not necessarily this week.”
Keenum has been an NFL journeyman and every place he has played at has held a special place in his heart. However, his focus right now is about winning a game over one of the better teams in the NFC.
“A lot of places mean a lot to me,” Keenum said. “I’ve been to a lot of places. Minnesota was another stop, I enjoyed my time there, it was short. I’m enjoying my time here. This is where we are and I’m excited to be a Redskin and I’m excited to go in there and win a football game.”
If the Redskins want to pull off the upset on Thursday, Keenum is going to have to put together his best performance of the season. The Vikings are clicking right now on both sides of the ball and it's like that the Redskins are going to have to score a large number of points to keep it close.
Even if Keenum says there isn't extra emotion coming into this game, a win would probably mean a little more than the average victory.
