The Atlanta Falcons came into Minnesota thinking of a 3-2 record but instead they watched as Rookie Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater torched their defense for 317 yards in the air and the combined rushing total of 241 yards (Bridgewater ran five times for 27 yards). In the fourth quarter, Bridgewater tweaked his ankle while scrambling from the Falcons defense. In the end, the Falcons fell to the Vikings 28-41.
“I felt what happened during the play. It was basically a non-contact injury,” Bridgewater said after the game. “I tried to make a plant move, and just rolled my ankle in a funny way. I wasn’t worried at all.”
