NFL Note - Minnesota Vikings Keenum, Case

Nov 20, 2017 - 9:21 AM QB Case Keenum was 27-of-38 passing for 280 yards and a touchdown against his former Rams team.

With QB Teddy Bridgewater activated, head coach Mike Zimmer has faced questions about Keenum and Bridgewater's inevitable promotion back to starter.

Zimmer has taken time with the decision, as he had earlier this season when Sam Bradford was trying to make his way back from his own knee injury.

Keenum continues to make it hard on Zimmer to make a change and Zimmer sounds like a coach willing to ride out Keenum while he's successful.

"It's going to be hard to yank him out of there right now," Zimmer said after Keenum helped Minnesota to a 24-7 win over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. "He's playing good. I still have really high hopes. You know a lot of things happen throughout the course of this season, so we'll just see how it goes."

Keenum was 27-of-38 passing for 280 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win, playing mistake-free while the defense held down Los Angeles' top-scoring offense. Keenum didn't commit a turnover, escaped some trouble with his legs and wasn't sacked.

It's the third game this season Keenum hasn't been sacked or thrown an interception, tying a franchise record for a single season.
