While the Colts struggle without Andrew Luck, our rivals in the Big Apple struggle to block anyone...including phantom pass rushers.
Eli Manning somehow took a sack without getting touched Andrew Joseph, USA Today
Eli Manning’s pass protection was an issue all night against the Lions. It got so bad that he was practically anticipating sacks before they happened.

"I anticipate that when he's ready to practice and he's ready to play, he'll be able to play. Honestly, I don't have a crystal ball. I know you guys want to ask me about all these things, but I don't have a crystal ball, so, sorry. I wish I did; I'd call some games better." - Mike Zimmer
According to Zimmer, on Sunday, the issue is swelling that Bradford experiences from time to time. On Monday the Vikings coach reversed directions and said it was from a twisted knee.
That being said, we have a third possibility also being floated around.
An NFL Network report on Monday called Bradford's injury a bone bruise, adding the Vikings would see how the quarterback responded to an injection this week.
