Kosar started another game and appeared in four turnover-free games that season for Dallas, which went on to win the first of consecutive Super Bowls over the Buffalo Bills.

Coach Mike Zimmer said he didn’t know the specifics of Bridgewater’s ligament situation.
All that for a quarterback who won’t even start for the Vikings in Week 1. Hill (63.3 percent) and Bradford (65 percent) had functionally identical numbers the last time they each started more than half a season (2014 for Hill and 2015 for Bradford), while both averaged around seven yards per attempt. Owner Jerry Jones signed Bernie Kosar after Cleveland cut the iconic hometown star.
The Vikings acquired Sam Bradford from the Philadelphia Eagles last Saturday to be their quarterback for this season. Hill lasted a half, going 8-for-13 for 81 yards and an interception before a thigh injury knocked him out. The offense is going to run through Adrian Peterson either way.
The Minnesota Vikings made a big move recently to acquire quarterback Sam Bradford a first-round pick.
The Vikings depth chart lists Bradford as the backup to Hill.
Speaking after practice Wednesday, Bradford is happy with the progress he’s making picking up the offense.
When Vikings general manager Rick Spielman was asked on ESPN’s NFL Insiders on Friday if he believed it was valuable for the Vikings to keep their starting quarterback a secret, Spielman said, “I think it’s extremely valuable”. “It just helps getting reps at practice”. “Maybe I have to do more”.
Minnesota’s heralded defense must not sleep on Mariota. Early on, they released Dexter McCluster, Bishop Sankey and David Cobb and traded for DeMarco Murray and drafted Heisman Trophy victor Derrick Henry (the pair will likely split carries). He has worked with multiple offensive coordinators, rarely getting the opportunity to play in the same scheme a few times.
“It’s time to do what we came here to do”, Henry said of making his National Football League debut. The game also will be broadcast on KFAN 100.3-FM and across the Minnesota Vikings Radio Network by the team of Paul Allen, Pete Bercich, Greg Coleman and Ben Leber.

Adrian Peterson is their go-to guy in most circumstances, and even more so now with the loss of Bridgewater. On the outside, the Titans feature Harry Douglas (36 receptions for 411 yards in 2015) and Kendall Wright (36 receptions for 408 yards). Teddy Bridgewater’s season-ending injury prompted the latest one.
