Minnesota Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was about to get sacked on this play, but just as he was about to go down at the hands of Lions’ linebacker Kyle Van Noy, Bridgewater had a new plan: shovel it off to Adrian Peterson, and let AP do what he does best. Peterson snatched the ball and carried it into the open field with a near 50-yard gain on the play.
Despite a rough first week against the 49ers on Monday Night Football, these Vikings might just be the fun team many expected to challenge for a playoff spot after all if they keep making plays like that.
