Vikings' Sam Bradford: Helps new team to win in starting debut

Bradford completed 22 of 31 passes for 286 yards and two TDs in Sunday's 17-14 win over the Packers.

Analysis:

Bradford shook off an injury to his non-throwing hand to lead the Vikings to a win in his first start for the team since being acquired in a trade with the Eagles earlier this month. It's clear that he'll keep the job, as long as he remains healthy, and the chemistry Bradford displayed with wideout Stefon Diggs (nine catches for 182 yards and a TD) was encouraging, especially since it looks like Bradford may be handing off to running backs not named Adrian Peterson next week, after the Vikings' star back left Sunday's game with a knee injury.
