Bridgewater staked his claim to be the Week 1 starter by leading two touchdown marches in his two drives of work. He was 9-of-11 passing for 105 yards, one touchdown and a 136.7 rating. Two throws stood out. On fourth-and-5, he showed patience to climb the pocket and hit receiver Jerry Jeudy for 35 yards. On the second drive, he delivered an accurate pass to tight end Eric Saubert for 21 yards on a corner route.
DL DeShawn Williams
Williams’ roster spot shouldn’t have been in doubt, but he made sure there are no questions with his interception and fumble recovery in the second quarter.
