Sam Bradford goes back to Philadelphia on Sunday for the first time since the Eagles traded him to the Minnesota Vikings, and he is bringing all of his knowledge of rookie starter Carson Wentz and the offensive system of first-year coach Doug Pederson.The Vikings (5-0) are on top of the NFC and Bradford has won all four of his starts since replacing Shaun Hill under center in Week 2. Bradford landed on his feet and said he has recovered from the ego bruising that comes from being traded for the second time in three years. The Eagles decided to hitch their wagon to Wentz, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2016 draft, and pulled the trigger on a deal that brought a first-round pick in 2017 in return.You could tell early on, he wants to be great, Bradford said of Wentz. I think it showed up on the field.While Wentz is winning, Pederson said Wednesday his plan was to fully redshirt Wentz in 2016, using Bradford as his No. 1 quarterback and backup Chase Daniel in case of emergency. The No. 1 pick in the 2016 draft, Jared Goff of the Los Angeles Rams, has not yet played this season.My plan was for him to sit the whole year, Pederson said.That changed when general manager Rick Spielman and the Vikings front office collectively signed off on forfeiting multiple picks, including the first-rounder next April, for Bradford. The Eagles had declared Bradford off the market publicly after signing him to a two-year, $35 million contract. But Bradford asked for a trade when Wentz was drafted and only relented when it became evident he wasnt moving despite tepid interest from Denver and the New York Jets.Initially, I was a little shocked (the trade) was going to be a possibility, Pederson said.The Sept. 3 trade also netted the Eagles a conditional fourth-round pick in 2018.Defending Wentz, who has completed 65 percent of his passes for 1,186 yards, seven touchdowns and just one interception with a passer rating of 99.9, might be easier for Pederson than protecting him. With right tackle Lane Johnson starting a 10-game suspension, the Redskins attacked rookie replacement Halapoulivaati Vaitai with a variety of blitzes and twice outside linebacker Ryan Kerrigan beat him on pure effort for sacks of Wentz.The Vikings have 19 sacks and lead the NFL with a plus-11 turnover differential. But Pederson, who rarely used a tight end to help Vaitai last week, said the Eagles will make adjustments and Vaitai will be better.Was it perfect? Was it pretty? No. Were there assignment errors? Yes, Pederson said. And Im not going to stand here and point the finger at Big V because thats not what happened. There were enough mistakes all around in this football game that cost us this game.The Vikings are one of the leagues biggest surprises. Not because Bradford is off to a great start -- six touchdowns and zero interceptions, a 70.4 completion percentage and 109.8 passer rating -- but because personnel issues have caused a weekly juggling act by coach Mike Zimmer and Spielman. With 10 players on injured reserve, including starters Teddy Bridgewater, Adrian Peterson and Ryan Kalil, the offense has been functional even when leading receiver Stefon Diggs was unavailable for Week 5.We still have a long season left, Spielman said. I would say were pretty happy with the retuns weve got at this point.Credit goes beyond the adjustments made to the roster since the start of the season for the Vikings.Minnesota leads the NFL in defense, allowing 12.6 points per game, thanks to heavy investments in the core of Zimmers defense, including first-round picks Harrison Smith at safety, Xavier Rhodes at cornerback, linebacker Anthony Barr and defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd.How much Bradford might help the Vikings prep for Wentz and diagnose what is on Pedersons play sheet is overrated according to Zimmer. Pederson worked himself into a huff on Monday when he said only one person has seen the entire playbook. That person is Pederson.Honestly, I think all that stuffs overrated, Zimmer said, with a qualifier that he has grilled Bradford for intel on the Eagles. Ive looked at and people have left stuff in locker rooms when theyve played us before and I cant even decipher it. I dont think he was there very long with Doug, really, he wasnt there during the spring and he wasnt there all that long. I think you go watch the tape and do the best you can.

Dennis McKinnon Jersey Store . -- Jimmie Johnson held off a teammate, passed a pair of Hall of Famers, and dominated once more at Dover.Delhi Daredevils moved up to second in the IPL standings after cruising to an eight-wicket win over table-toppers Gujarat Lions in Rajkot. Rishabh Pant struck 69 in just his third IPL innings as Delhi - who have won five of their seven games this term, as many as they managed in the whole of the last campaign - coasted past their opponents 149-7 with 16 balls in the bank.Dinesh Karthik notched a gritty 53 from 43 deliveries for Gujarat but Suresh Rainas men were well beaten on their home turf, just two days after they slipped up against rock-bottom Kings XI Punjab at the same venue. Dinesh Karthiks 53 came in a losing effort Brendon McCullum (1), Dwayne Smith (15) and fit-again Aaron Finch (5) formed a power-packed overseas top order for Lions but all three were back in the shed at the four-over mark having been dismissed within the space of nine balls.McCullum, fortunate to avoid falling lbw when struck on the pad from the sixth delivery of the match, was bowled by Zaheer Khan attempting a slog in the second over, with Smith and Finch then caught off spinner Shahbaz Nadeem.Karthik, though, added 51 with Raina (24) prior to the skipper being stumped off Amit Mishra, while the 30-year-olds stand with Ravindra Jadeja (36no) had reached 52 by the time Mohammad Shami flicked his off-stump.Jadeja lashed Shami for six att the start of the final over but Gujarats total always looked reachable, especially with Pant and Quinton de Kock (46 off 44) crunching 115 runs for Delhis first wicket in 13.dddddddddddd overs. Marcus North and Andy Flower review the Delhi Daredevils IPL clash with the Gujarat Lions. Pant - who, at 18 years and 212 days, became the second-youngest man to hit an IPL fifty, after his Daredevils team-mate Sanju Samson - clubbed nine fours and two maximums before edging his 40th ball onto his pad and through to wicketkeeper Karthhik, while De Kock holed out to deep midwicket an over later.However, Samson (19no) and JP Duminy (13no) guided Delhi home - and to within two points of Gujarat - ensuring Englands Sam Billings, fresh from hitting 54 on debut against Kolkata on Saturday, was denied a bat.Catch more IPL action on Wednesday as Kolkata Knight Riders take on Kings XI Punjab.
