Vikings Offense Shows Life With Shurmur, Plenty To Improve
MINNEAPOLIS, MN - NOVEMBER 6: Sam Bradford #8 of the Minnesota Vikings is tackled by Kerry Hyder #61 of the Detroit Lions of the game on November 6, 2016 at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota.MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Needing a touchdown to win and down to 27 seconds left in regulation, the Minnesota Vikings sent their massive nose tackle in to clear a path for their most powerful running back on third-and-goal from the 1.
Linval Joseph lined up in the I-formation in front of Matt Asiata, and the blockers began to make space behind the left tackle.
That’s not where the play went, though, on one of many sharp calls by offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur in his first game at the controls.
