It's been 51 weeks since Sam Bradford started his first game for the Vikings -- just two weeks after the team traded for him following Teddy Bridgewater's gruesome knee injury. All Bradford did in that first appearance was lead Minnesota to an improbable win over Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.
On Monday night, the Vikings hosted the high-powered Saints. And just like a year ago, Bradford was the star of the show. When it was over, he was 27 of 32 for 346 yards, three touchdowns and no turnovers.
