NFL: Christian Ponder playing through pain barrier to grab first Vikings victory
MINNESOTA VIKINGS quarterback Christian Ponder is willing to play through the pain to help his team gain their first win of the season against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.
Ponder suffered a rib injury in the Vikings’ loss to the Cleveland Browns last Sunday, but he said: “My mindset is we’re going to push it to the limit and see what we can do. I’m doing everything I can to play in this game.”
