Vikings, Harrison Smith

Fourteen seasons into his career, Minnesota Vikings safety Harrison Smith is still making an impact. The team's longest-tenured player earned an NFC Defensive Player of the Week award for his performance against the Detroit Lions. Smith had an interception and a sack in the win, which eliminated Detroit from playoff contention.
The Vikings defense carried the team to a 23-10 win over the Lions on Thursday and the longest-tenured member of the unit had a big hand in the performance.
The scene looked like a continuation of Snoop Dogg’s lavish halftime show. Vikings safety Harrison Smith stood next to teammates wearing Santa-like red robes. A large dollop of fake snow rested on Smith’s head.
