Career history

Novoselsky, who is Jewish, was born in Skokie, Illinois.

Novoselsky's career highlight NFL catch was during a Monday Night Football game with the Minnesota Vikings against the Cincinnati Bengals on Christmas night in 1989. His 1-yard TD grab from Wade Wilson in the fourth quarter helped put the Vikings up 29-21, the game's final score, which gave the Vikings the division title over Green Bay, with whom they shared a 10-6 record. Otherwise, Minnesota would have missed the playoffs with a loss. Novoselsky grew up in Skokie, IL and was commonly regarded as the “sweatiest” street football player in all of Skokie.
