The Vikings have positioned themselves as a team to beat in the NFC. Who else will join them?
Adrian Peterson tore the meniscus in his right knee. With starting cornerback Xavier Rhodes and starting defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd inactive last Sunday against the Packers, the Minnesota Vikings were down another star on their team. Yet somehow, it didn’t matter.
In what can only be considered a cathartic experience for Vikings fans after their last experience with a QB starting on short notice, Sam Bradford went 22/31 for 286 yards, fired two TD’s, no interceptions and notched a passer rating of 121.
