Teddy Bridgewater hates Soldier Field game clocks

Teddy Bridgewater really hopes the people at Soldier Field have finally figured out how to work a game clock.

You recall that last year when the Vikings visited the Bears’ home stadium there was an issue with the game clocks going out late while the Vikings were trying to mount a comeback.

Bridgewater, a rookie at the time, was forced to operate with no idea how much time was left on the clock.

The interception Bridgewater threw to end the Vikings’ rally was directly influenced by the QB’s uncertainty about the clock situation.

After that game, Mike Zimmer offered up his blunt assessment of the clock issue.

With the Vikings now trekking back to Soldier Field, the malfunctioning clocks are on Bridgewater’s mind (via Minneapolis StarTribune):

"“When you’re not aware of how much time is left on the clock when you’re down on the playing field, it forces you to make some decisions that you probably wouldn’t have made if you were aware of the game clock or the play clock. I hope it doesn’t happen again this year.”"

Would it be too much to ask for a modern-day NFL stadium to have game clocks that function correctly from the beginning to the end of the game?

Really, would that be too much?
