Show Notes

Drew Brees returned to the Saints' lineup yesterday, but it was his backup, Teddy Bridgewater, who got the biggest cheers. Bridgewater led the Saints to a perfect 5-0 record while Brees recovered from a thumb injury and established himself as a Saints folk hero in the process. Bridgewater is one of many backup QBs who have been thrust into the NFL spotlight this season, as star QB after star QB has gone down injured. We trace Bridgewater's remarkable path to this moment -- including overcoming a life-threatening injury -- and ask what the future holds now that his stock has risen.
