CHARLOTTE — Everson Griffen fought through an illness and then through the Panthers offensive line on Sunday.
Although he missed some reps in the Vikings convincing 22-10 victory, he didn’t miss Cam Newton on multiple opportunities.
Griffen recorded 3.0 sacks for losses of a combined 37 yards and was credited with four of Minnesota’s 12 quarterback hits tallied by press box statisticians.
“I was sick, but I fight for my team,” Griffen said. “I love this game, I love the way we work, I love the way we play, I love the way we’re disciplined, and we just go out there and work every single play.
