Sam Bradford

While some fans don't even want to think about football right now, others are left with a lot of questions. What happened to our vaunted defense? How will the departure of Pat Shurmur impact the offense? Who is our starting quarterback next year?

Teddy Bridgewater will suit up for the first time since last spring in a MN Vikings Jersey for game day. Case Keenum will still have the start, but this is a positive step for the long recovery of Bridgewater after his freak knee injury last season.

On a night that featured Adrian Peterson returning to Minnesota seeking revenge on his former team, it was Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford who stole the show and the NFL has recognized his efforts.
