SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

Bridgewater hasn't been asked to throw many deep passes over the past few weeks, but according to Pro Football Focus, only three quarterbacks have been more accurate on passes of 20-plus yards the past four weeks. Bridgewater has completed five of eight such attempts for 168 yards and a touchdown, per PFF. Yes, that's a small sample size. But it does suggest he is improving there.
