Congratulations are in order for Teddy Bridgewater. The former Lions quarterback got the win in his first game as the head coach of his high school alma mater.
Bridgewater was with the Lions in 2023, signed during training camp when the Lions sorely needed help with injuries and competence in the role behind Jared Goff. He retired after the season to take on the head coaching responsibility at Miami Northwestern High School, where he graduated in 2010.
