The highlight of Friday night’s Vikings victory over the Bengals? Without question it was Teddy Bridgewater’s 49-yard TD pass to Charles Johnson to give the Vikes a 7-0 lead in the second quarter.
That particular play was encouraging on many levels. Keeping in mind that we’re talking about a preseason game of course.
The big thing obviously was the accuracy of Bridgewater’s pass. The young QB’s inability to maintain his accuracy on passes targeted more than 20 yards down the field has been a big subject of discussion.
Bridgewater’s arm-slot looked good as he stepped up in the pocket and delivered the pass perfectly into Johnson’s outstretched hands.
