Teddy Bridgewater completed 23-of-33 passes for 187 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in the Broncos' 17-14, Week 7 loss to the Browns.
Playing through a foot injury, Bridgewater didn't have a good first half, to put it mildly. He entered the break 7-of-10 for 58 yards, zero scores and an interception. He struggled to the degree that FOX put an iso cam on Drew Lock coming out of the locker room in the third quarter. Lock warmed up like he was coming in, but the Broncos stuck with Bridgewater and he engineered an immediate scoring drive to get his team back in the game. Perhaps the swirling winds died down, or maybe Bridgewater received a pain-killing injection. His scores went to running backs Melvin Gordon and Javonte Williams. Bridgewater also converted a "had to have it" fourth down with a red zone quarterback sneak. As so often happens with Bridgewater, his play has cratered in recent weeks following a hot start, though he will be getting Jerry Jeudy (ankle) back for Week 8 against the Washington Football Team. He will also have 10 much needed days to rest his foot. Bridgewater will be on the streaming radar vs. WFT's awful defense.
