The Minnesota Vikings made a surprising move during training camp when they cut veteran punter Jordan Berry in favor of rookie Ryan Wright out of Tulane. So far this season, that decision seems to be playing out really well.
On his second punt of the game, the Vikings had the ball inside the five-yard line. Wright took it upon himself to flip the field and did so with a 73-yard blast that pinned the Dolphins back much farther than expected.

With the Vikings offense playing as poorly as they are, having Wright playing this well is a good sign moving forwardl
