Last season Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford played mostly a safe game.
He became the first Vikings quarterback since 1981 to post 300 yards in a season opener as Minnesota pounded the New Orleans Saints 29-19 .
The Saints didn’t score a touchdown until late in the fourth quarter after the Vikings had a huge lead.
Rookie Dalvin Cook gave the Vikings a running game, something they didn’t have last season after Peterson’s Week 2 knee injury.
But he needs to be better this year for the Vikings to challenge the Packers for the division crown, and he looked improved in the season opener.
