When Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford was drafted first overall by the St. Louis Rams in 2010, those who believed Bradford was worthy of that selection figured he'd put together dozens of performances like the one he had Monday night.
Instead, it took seven years for Bradford to give us a truly special outing. In his 79th NFL start Monday against the New Orleans Saints, Bradford—two months shy of his 30th birthday—played by far the best game of his NFL career.
The Oklahoma product completed all but five of 32 passes for 346 yards and three touchdowns in a turnover-free effort as the Vikes easily disposed of the Saints and their future Hall of Fame quarterback, Drew Brees.
