Week 6 – at Minnesota Vikings

Sam Bradford returns to the Twin Cities to face his former team in the Vikings.  He could be pretty pumped up for this one.

He played very well for the Vikings in 2016 and started off 2017 with a bang.  After he was injured though, Case Keenum took over and when Kirk Cousins became available, Bradford became expendable.

He knows the Vikings well, so there is a bit of an advantage there but not much.  The Vikings will have changed things up and they are quite a ways ahead in talent and coaching.

This one may not end up being very pretty.  The Cardinals last visited in 2016 and lost.  There likely won’t be any different result this time around either.

This game has all the trappings of what we saw from the Cardinals in Philadelphia last season.  This is the first of four early window Sunday games for the Cardinals in 2018.
