EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — The onus of the Vikings season hasn’t fallen on the shoulders of one player, whether it be quarterback Shaun Hill, running back Adrian Peterson or anyone in between.
The Vikings will go into the 2016 season without quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, who suffered a season-ending knee injury on Tuesday. But players and coaches say success will come via a collective team effort, not a Herculean performance by any sole individual.
“I think everyone’s role gets better – each and every one of us in this locker room will have to do a little bit more,” tight end Kyle Rudolph said Thursday night.
