Teddy Bridgewater impressed in his first game as the Vikings starter, going 19-for-30 with 317 yards in a 41-28 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Unfortunately for the rookie and the Vikings, he sprained his ankle in the second half and is listed as questionable for tonight's game. If Bridgewater is unable to play, the Vikes will have to turn to third-stringer Christian Ponder.
Even with Bridgewater dominating, the Vikings struggled to convert third downs, which head coach Mike Zimmer said must improve for the team to succeed. "It's terrible," coach Mike Zimmer said. "We've got a lot of work to do. I'm extremely disappointed in that. We'll put a lot more time and effort into it than what we have."
Meanwhile, prior to last week's blowout win of the Bears, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers had preached patience with the offense's slow start. He backed up his talk with a 22-of-28 performance in which he racked up 302 yards and four touchdowns.
"I just wanted to remind everybody that it's a long season, and at some point, we're going to get this thing figured out," Rodgers said.
The running game is still stuck in neutral though. Eddie Lacy showed some improvement vs. the Bears, finally notching his first touchdown of the year, but he still managed just 48 yards on 17 carries.
