SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
While Bridgewater has done most of his damage in the preseason within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage — he's 20-of-25 for 161 yards and two touchdowns on such throws, according to Pro Football Focus — Cassel has completed more deeper throws. He is 7-for-10 for 156 yards and a touchdown on throws 10 or more yards downfield, including his 51-yard touchdown Saturday.
