Rookie Sam Bradford inspires Minnesota Vikings to victory over Aaron Rodgers

Aaron Rodgers has two NFL MVP awards and one Super Bowl ring, and he’s in his ninth season as the starter for Green Bay. Sam Bradford was never on a winning team over his first six years in the league. He had 15 days to learn Minnesota’s offence, then lost his Hall of Fame calibre running back to injury in the third quarter.

Guess who was the more productive quarterback on Sunday night?

Bradford’s debut was almost as dazzling as Minnesota’s new $1.1 billion stadium itself. He completed 22 of 31 passes for 286 yards, two touchdowns and no turnovers to lead the Vikings to a 17-14 victory over the Packers.
