Zimmer has talked about how resilient the Vikings have been since Bridgewater’s injury.

In a game that felt more “playoff” than “regular season”, the Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers battered and bruised one another.
A week removed from a host of communication issues in Green Bay’s narrow season-opening win at the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Packers allowed the Vikings to assume the outright division lead at 2-0 with a multitude of errors on the offensive side.
Rookie QB Jacoby Brissett’s first National Football League start could come this week, when he might be called upon to sub for the suspended Tom Brady’s sub, the injured Jimmy Garoppolo, in the New England Patriots’ game Thursday against the Houston Texans and old friend Bill O’Brien. That triggered the bold trade with Philadelphia to bring in Bradford. “They’re starting to screw us a little bit”. Peterson might miss just a week, however, Zimmer is not clear how long he will actually be out, according to ESPN.
“I was just fortunate to be in the right spot at the right time”, Waynes said. “So, I thought he did a lot of good things”.
The Eagles had two touchdowns late in the third quarter, one set up by linebacker Nigel Bradham out of Florida State, who returned an interception 28 yards to the Bears’ 2-yard line. James Starks rush on fourth and two wound up just inches short.
“Offensively, we’ve got a lot of work to do”, veteran guard T.J. Lang said. He finished 12 for 21 for 154 yards in the second half, but Bradford was the better quarterback on this night. Out of Bradford’s 22 completed passes, Diggs caught 40% of those passes. Jay Cutler at the Bears, Ben Roethlisberger at the Steelers, pre-2015 Peyton Manning at the Broncos, Joe Flacco at the Ravens; for all their individual faults, they can each crack-open a tight, defensive game with one outstanding piece of skill. “You don’t know what the situation is”.
“I have been going to old games at the old Met center, and the Metrodome, and this thing is fantastic”. The quarterback was left with a swollen and discolored non-throwing hand that required X-rays after the game. Pass protection was good, but if you look at the passing game, the number of sacks and the downfield opportunities that we didn’t hit is the focus as we move forward to Detroit.
“We have kind of an awkward schedule here”.
Fans were also up in arms about Peterson’s unusual walk back to the locker room.
Prescott knows role: Cowboys rookie Dak Prescott won’t get involved in a potential quarterback controversy.
Prior to Sunday, Whittaker’s career-high was 41 yards rushing back, that coming back in 2014 against the Atlanta Falcons (see full story). Josh McCown was intercepted on the next play and the Browns lost 25-20. “I know that’s insane”.
