Yes, he got good velocity on that throw. He made a nice throw on the TD too.

And to be fair, the OL played much better the second half of that drive.

I'm guessing that's all we'll see from Bridgewater and several other starters tonight.

Excellent ball by teddy. The only thing concerning me on our line is our OTs. The interior has done pretty solid

Has anyone noticed that TB has worked on his mechanics? Did I see that right? Still the delivery is not orthodox but I noticed that he is not trying to place the ball and is throwing it mostly where it needs to be?

Don't hate on my Buckeyes. Some of the best Vikings went to Ohio State.

There were reports that he was working on them this offseason.

Yeah, obviously it is super early but he looks confident and is stepping into his throws so far.

Shaun "snoozefest" Hill is in now. Excited to see Treadwell but not with Hill tossing it to him.

He had nowhere to go. The Bengals manhandled the o-line on that play.
