Teddy Bridgewater Is the Truth

Sure, it was at home. And sure, it was against the Falcons. But it was Teddy Bridgewater's starting debut, and he sure didn't disappoint.

According to our metrics, Bridgewater played roughly 16 points above expectation, which, across an entire season, is Pro Bowl-esque. The Falcons secondary is nothing to get excited about though, especially after finishing dead last according to our rankings (by far) a season ago. They've started stronger this year, but they're still a bottom-half unit against the pass.

Upcoming for the Vikings is a game against the Packers, and if Bridgewater is healthy (he left late in the game with an ankle injury), he should be in store for another solid game.

Oh, and since we're talking about the Minnesota passing game: We warned you about Cordarrelle Patterson this year.
