Sam Bradford throws for 300 yards and 3 touchdowns.

It’s easy to see that the Vikings’ offense runs through Sam Bradford. In his first year with Minnesota, he has been given quite the task: find success with a poor offensive line and a mediocre run game.

So far, Bradford has fulfilled this task. Given the circumstances, Sam Bradford has been brilliant. The offensive line and run game showed some life against the Cardinals in week 11. This will help to open up the field for Bradford.

Vikings’ quarterback Sam Bradford is known for his tremendous arm strength and pin-point accuracy. The biggest worry Vikings’ fans had coming into the season was how injury-prone he has been and the mistakes he is known to make.

He has done great at avoiding both of those down-falls this season. Playing every snap since week 2 and only throwing 2 interceptions all year, Bradford has been beyond efficient. On the big stage on Thanksgiving Day, with a chance to take the division lead, Sammy Sleeves will shine.

Like previously said, Mike Zimmer will be looking for more big plays on Thanksgiving Day, adding Laquon Treadwell to the mix. Expect Bradford to have a huge day with over 300 yards and 3 touchdowns.
