I'll never forget in 2019, when Drew got injured, we had just gone out to the Rams, got beat out there, Drew hurt his thumb and was out five weeks. Teddy stepped in and we won five in a row.

Bridgewater's 5-0 run in 2019 proved his value as a dependable backup.

In 2019, Bridgewater stepped in as backup for the Saints when Drew Brees missed five games due to a thumb injury. The Saints were 1-1 and had just been blown out by the Rams when Brees got hurt, but Bridgewater led the team to a 5-0 record over that stretch, preventing the season from going downhill. Dan Campbell, who was assistant head coach on that Saints team, cited this performance as a key reason he wanted Bridgewater as his backup quarterback in Detroit, emphasizing Bridgewater's dependability in a pinch.
