Bridgewater-to-Rudolph connection highlights Vikings' day

MINNEAPOLIS -- In what was likely his final pass of the preseason, Teddy Bridgewater's throw to Kyle Rudolph on Sunday was the kind of play the Minnesota Vikings have been hoping to see from their quarterback for the better part of two years.

With the Vikings on the San Diego Chargers' 27-yard line, Bridgewater took a shotgun snap and kept his eyes downfield as a four-man rush closed in on him. A split-second before a defender hit him, Bridgewater let the ball go over the middle of the field for Rudolph, who snatched it out of the air just before his former college teammate Manti Te'o could get there.
