The Vikings misspelled Everson Griffen's name on his jersey

Everything has been going right for the undefeated Vikings this season, but as they got off to another fast start Sunday against the Houston Texans, one thing was decidedly wrong with one of Minnesota’s best players.

At least with his jersey.

For those of you not familiar with Everson Griffen, that should be an “EN” and not an “IN” at the end of his name. Given that he’s played for the Vikings since 2010 and that he was a Pro Bowl selection for the first time last season, you’d think Minnesota’s equipment manager would know that.

Maybe a few more sacks will help with the name recognition. Griffen entered Sunday’s game tied for third in the league with four.
