#7. Teddy’s Back! (kind of)

It’s been a long time since Teddy Bridgewater has taken the field for any kind of action in an NFL game. In fact, he’s been out of action since his non-contact knee injury that kept him out through the entire 2016 season.

This is why it was an emotional moment when the Vikings quarterback got some playing time with Minnesota had a massive lead over the Bengals and the second team offense and defense entered the game.

Bridgewater returned to a loud ovation from the fans and a huge amount of fanfare from the national media as well. Even though his return didn’t go great as far as a stat line, seeing him on the field was a great moment that likely brought tears to the eyes of many fans.
