EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — The Vikings benefitted multiple times from an oft-overlooked or seldom shown aspect of Sam Bradford for solid gains last week against the Cowboys.
The quarterback used mobility — by design and necessity during drives.
Minnesota ran play action with a naked bootleg to his left in the first quarter for a play that resulted in a 17-yard completion to Kyle Rudolph. The play helped set up the Vikings first of three field goals by Kai Forbath.
Bradford later tucked and ran for a gain of 10 in the third quarter and had two completions after scrambles during Minnesota’s touchdown drive in the fourth quarter.
