Teddy Bridgewater is once again nominated for the GMC Never Say Never award.  This time, it is for his week 14 performance against the New York Jets.

The Vikings game against the Jets went into overtime, where the Jets won the coin toss and earned the first possession.  After a defensive stop by Minnesota, the Jets punted the ball.  Minnesota took over on offense from their own 13 yard line in a game where the next score would win the game.

Minnesota only needed one play though.  Vikings rookie quarterback Teddy Bridgewater threw a strike to Jarius Wright on a screen with blockers in front of him.  Wright broke a tackle and outran the rest of the Jets defense to the end zone for an 87 yard walk off touchdown win on Sunday.

Here are Bridgewater’s competition for the award:

Andrew Luck, QB – Indianapolis Colts

  • The prolific Colts quarterback led Indianapolis to a come from behind victory over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.  Luck led a drive down the field with time running out and completed a touchdown pass to T.Y. Hilton to win the game.

Drew Stanton, QB – Arizona Cardinals

  • Stanton tossed a 26 yard touchdown pass to Jaron Brown to give the Cardinals a 17-14 win.  The win moved Arizona to 7-0 record at home this year and 10-3 on the season.

If Bridgewater can win the award, this would be his second GMC Never Say Never award.  His first win came in the Vikings week 9 win over the Washington Redskins.
