Vikings' Everson Griffen announces birth of baby on shirt
— -- DETROIT -- Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen celebrated the birth of his newborn son after a sack in Thursday's 30-23 win over the Detroit Lions and used the moment to crowdsource some possible names.
After sacking quarterback Matthew Stafford for a 5-yard loss, Griffen lifted up his jersey, revealing a handwritten message on his undershirt.
"I just had a baby boy. What should we name him?" the message read.?
The NFL fine for altering a uniform with a personal message is $6,076 for a first-time offense.
Hours before the game, Griffen and his wife, Tiffany, welcomed their third child.
The defensive end announced the news in a video tweeted by Fox Sports Procast. Details at the time were limited, but the baby joins brothers Greyson and Ellis.
With two sacks Thursday, Griffen now has nine games with at least one sack this season, the most of any defender in the league. His 12 sacks this season tie his career high, set in 2014.
