A Vikings player finally received a postseason honor, and it's none other than quarterback Teddy Bridgewater.
The Pro Football Writers of America named Bridgewater to its All-Rookie team on Tuesday. Bridgewater finished with 2,919 passing yards, 14 touchdowns and 12 interceptions with an 85.2 quarterback rating in 13 games (12 starts).
He won the award over Raiders quarterback Derek Carr, who started the entire season and had 3,270 yards, 21 touchdowns, 12 interceptions and a 76.6 quarterback rating.
The Vikings struck out on the PFWA All-NFL and All-NFC teams announced on Monday. They also didn't have a representative on the AP All-Pro team or the Pro Bowl.
Bridgewater is also up for Rookie of the Year (You can vote here on the award) with Bucs wide receiver Mike Evans, Bengals running back Jeremy Hill, Bills wide receiver Sammy Watkins and Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who was named PFWA's Rookie of the Year.
