Even though that his career was on a roller coaster ride, Sam didn't give up and proved to them why he was picked #1 overall. This is the result when the Vikings beat the Packers in a complete upset. He started his first game with for the Vikings after his offseason was considered "tumultuous". It all began when he signed an extension with the Philadelphia Eagles, only that he was traded to the Minnesota Vikings afterwards.
