GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) – Dwight Freeney has been harassing NFL quarterbacks for 14 years.
Add Teddy Bridgewater to the list.
Freeney knocked the ball out of Bridgewater’s hand as the Minnesota quarterback prepared to pass. Arizona’s Calais Campbell recovered with 5 seconds to go and the Cardinals escaped with a 23-20 victory over the Vikings on Thursday night.
“Freeney is a heck of a player,” Minnesota tight end Kyle Rudolph said, “and he’s been doing that for a long time.”
The Vikings, as they did much of the night, moved swiftly downfield to the Arizona 31, well within Blair Walsh’s range for a game-tying field goal.
