Teddy Bridgewater’s Jets debut couldn’t have gone better

Sam Darnold has the hype. Josh McCown has the experience.

But Teddy Bridgewater may be the best man for the job.

Receiving his first extended NFL action since a devastating knee injury that kept Bridgewater from playing the past two seasons, the former Pro Bowler again looked like one of the league’s best young quarterbacks, completing 7-of-8 passes for 85 yards and a touchdown in the Jets’ 17-0 win over the Falcons on Friday night at MetLife Stadium.

“I felt great. It was an awesome feeling. I was at peace out there,” Bridgewater said.
