Mike Zimmer upset with Rams for ‘cheap shot’ on Teddy Bridgewater

Possibly outside of winning in Seattle, against a then 2-3 Seahawks team, the Panthers have yet to stake claim to a signature win, something with an exclamation point attached to it. This could be that game for them.

Foles found Kenny Britt for 55 yards to set up a tough touchdown run by Gurley, who took a jarring hit from Anthony Barr as he leaped at the goal line before sliding in on the second effort. Backup quarterback Shaun Hill came in did just enough to keep the team on the rails en route to an overtime victory. And I’ve been in those situations as a player. “I wasn’t sure what would be there, but there was a block that got me up the sideline”. The Vikings were leading 18-15 when Bridgewater was hurt. The Rams will return to the Edward Jones Dome next week to take on the Chicago Bears (2-5). His status for next week’s game against the Oakland Raiders is based on how he progressed through the league’s concussion protocol this week.

“It wasn’t pretty, but it doesn’t have to be”, Vikings left guard Brandon Fusco said. Also a troubling scene in this game, and granted I cant stand referees in the first place, but I see a trend where the Steelers get jobbed by every ref every week. “He’s a guy that I’m terrible glad we have”. “We used it to our advantage”.

The Vikings won with their No. 3 base middle linebacker having to play the last 7½ minutes of regulation and overtime. In 26 career starts, the Rams’ quarterback is 18-8. Now would be a good time to recognize Chad Greenway’s versatility and team-first mentality.

Their discipline stems straight from Mike Zimmer’s presence in the locker room, and his consistent leadership shined through despite a number of injuries on Sunday. Greenway stepped in and finished with a team-high eight solo tackles and 10 overall. He only hauled in three passes for 42 yards, but it’s not always how many receptions a receiver gets, but when he makes them.

“I felt like we’re going to need as many scoring opportunities as we possibly can”, Fisher said.

Joseph said it was Minnesota’s goal to hold St. Louis rookie running back Todd Gurley under 100 yards after he topped 125 the past four games. Perhaps this is because the Panthers win ugly – they blew a 17-point, fourth-quarter lead to the Colts last week before winning on a field goal in overtime – and rarely blow out opponents (six of their wins have been by 11 points or fewer). “I grew up across the railroad tracks from him”, Joyner said of Bridgewater. “I am going to lobby for him just like I did for Everson a year ago”.

The Browns had been able to keep in touch with the mighty Bengals until the half way stage of the game, and being just 14-10 down after the second period had given their fans hope of an upset. The Rams punted rather than try a 65-yard field goal.
