Cool, calm, collected Teddy Bridgewater has Denver Broncos 2-0 – Denver Broncos Blog

The Denver Broncos have been off to a hot start, and quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has been the main reason why. In his first two starts, Bridgewater has thrown for 1,719 yards and 12 touchdowns with just one interception.

The Denver Broncos record is a blog post about the Denver Broncos and their 2-0 start to the season.

JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA – Teddy Bridgewater, the quarterback for the Denver Broncos, is known among his colleagues as “Teddy B,” but after guiding the club to a 2-0 start for the first time since 2016, he may as well be Teddy Z.

Teddy Zen, for example. Bridgewater, who was acquired in a trade with the Carolina Panthers the day before the April draft opened, has quickly and decisively won over his teammates and coaches with an unflappable demeanor, high-end preparation, and a growing pile of completions that has the Broncos closing out drives with touchdowns.

After the Broncos’ 23-13 win against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, coach Vic Fangio said, “That’s a wonderful trait to have at all positions, particularly at quarterback, and he has it, it’s just in his DNA.” “I wish I could tell you that we instilled it in him, but we didn’t. That’s who he is, and we knew that when we signed him.”

Bridgewater followed up his 264-yard, two-touchdown effort in the regular-season opener against the New York Giants with a 328-yard, two-touchdown performance against the Jaguars. The 328 throwing yards were the third-highest total in a single game in an NFL career that began in 2014.

Bridgewater has four touchdown throws this season without throwing an interception. The Broncos have already had four touchdown drives of at least 75 yards in their first two games, after struggling to put drives together and complete them with scores for most of the previous four seasons. Last season, it took them until Week 4 to score their fourth touchdown drive of at least 75 yards.

“You all see the composure, he doesn’t get flustered, he’s always aware of the situation, he’s always aware of what he has to do and he does it,” said Von Miller of the Broncos. “… Teddy is our leader, therefore we’re following him.”

Bridgewater said, “All I want to do is give them my best.” “I’m simply happy to be a part of it,” she says.

Bridgewater defeated Drew Lock in the quarterback battle because he moved the ball consistently in both practice and preseason games. His teammates have repeatedly remarked that his ability to locate the open receiver and maintain his cool when things don’t go well has been crucial since he was officially designated the starter.

In each of the Broncos’ first two games, Bridgewater has completed passes to nine different players, and the team has recovered from sluggish beginnings (they trailed 7-3 in the first quarter of each of their first two games) to win by double digits.

“Teddy is going to find a way to deliver the ball to us,” said Courtland Sutton, a wide receiver. “Just sitting out there watching him, he’ll alter a play to something we haven’t rehearsed [that week], but he sees something we don’t, and having a guy like him who sees the game at a different level than anybody else, it’s exciting, it gives us energy.”

Bridgewater was unable to connect with Sutton in the first half, but he continued to take swings. On the second play of the second half, he hit Sutton for 55 yards deep down the center. The Broncos took a 17-7 lead on a 14-yard Bridgewater to Noah Fant catch-and-run play two plays later.

“No play is dead until the whistle is blown,” Sutton remarked, referring to Teddy. “He always finds a way to get the ball down the field to someone.”
