Titans Over Vikings

After losing Teddy Bridgewater for the season, the Minnesota Vikings found themselves in a tough spot when it comes to having a reliable quarterback to run the offense. Acquiring Bradford from the Eagles in exchange for a first-round pick seems risky, but it was a move that had to be done to help this team continue being strong contenders in the NFC.

However, the toughest thing about acquiring Bradford when they did is the quarterback only had one week to learn the Vikings’ offense. Bradford will eventually take over the starting role full time for Minnesota, but Shaun Hill will start for at least Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans.

If the preseason is any indication, Marcus Mariota and the Titans appear ready to take their game to the next level in 2016. Between Mariota having a year of experience under his belt along with more offensive weapons, Tennessee should have no problem topping last year’s three-win mark, and it starts on Sunday against Minnesota.
