Not since Tommy Kramer was slinging, the St. Louis Cardinals played at Busch Stadium and Americans were taken hostage in Iran had a Vikings quarterback connected with as many receivers as Teddy Bridgewater in Sunday's victory at Detroit.
The essence of Bridgewater's 316-yard performance at Ford Field was his accuracy. He completed 25 of 35 passes (71.4 percent) and tossed a pair of touchdowns.
More impressive was the diversity of the passing attack, which left the Lions looking like they were chasing ghosts all over the field.
Eleven players caught passes. Stefon Diggs led the parade with six receptions for 108 yards, including a dazzling, diving touchdown grab.
