MINNEAPOLIS – Sam Bradford has a number of times been called a “tough guy” by Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer, and he lived up to the label in Zimmer’s absence Thursday night.
Bradford took a hard hit to the ribs by Cowboys defensive tackle Maliek Collins shortly before halftime and left the field for the final two offensive plays of the quarter.
“I took a shot to the ribs,” Bradford said. “I think it kind of knocked the wind out of me.
“I just came in at halftime, and I think just the time to take a deep breath after that, they were really a non-factor.
