Minnesota Vikings quarterback Christan Ponder trucks Chicago Bears’ Lance Briggs (GIF)
By Bryan Rose
Earlier today, it was reported by NFL insider Jay Glazer of Fox Sports that Minnesota Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder could be out of a job.
After throwing four turnovers in a loss to the Detroit Lions last weekend, Ponder’s leash on the starting job is quite short – more than anybody realizes, this according to Glazer.
Knowing that, Ponder seems intent to have a productive day on the field, at least so far.
After a few beautiful throws (shocking, coming from Ponder, I know), the Vikings quarterback capped off his first half with an impressive trucking of Chicago Bears linebacker Lance Briggs.
As Ponder was running for a first down, the powerful Briggs began to lick his chops at the idea of hitting an incoming quarterback. Only problem? I think Ponder had more of a desire to hit Briggs than Briggs did Ponder.
Powering up his best real-life Madden truck stick, Ponder lowered his elbow and sent Briggs flying to the sideline while Ponder looks relatively unfazed by the whole event.
