Teddy Bridgewater getting the start today for the Saints

It's his first start since his horrific knee injury in 2016. With New Orleans having already clinched the NFC South, they can afford to give Drew Brees the week off.

Bridgewater is only 26 and will be a free agent next season. There's likely to be a lot of teams watching him closely today.

He has missed games every year and now he won’t be starting the biggest game of the year.

In practice, no contact, just had his knee disintegrate when he planted to make a throw ... and he seems like a class act.

I'll be pulling for him, for sure.
