Sam Bradford’s missteps with Vikings in 2016 masked by overpraised NFL record

It is one of the few points people make when attempting to prove why Sam Bradford can lead the Minnesota Vikings back to the playoffs in 2017. “He was the most accurate passer in NFL history last year,” they say.

So yes, Bradford did lead the NFL in 2016 by completing 71.
