Teddy Bridgewater may be stepping into an incredibly important role for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the immediate future, but it will be nothing new for the 12th-year quarterback. In fact, his current situation could end up being eerily familiar to one he experienced six years ago.

In 2019, Bridgewater was a backup for the New Orleans Saints, a team with an accomplished veteran quarterback in Drew Brees that was working on defending multiple NFC South championships. In a Week Three game against the Los Angeles Rams, Brees suffered a thumb injury that would lead to an extended absence from the Saints' lineup. Bridgewater stepped in for the next five games and helped the Saints go 5-0, which ultimately kept the team on track to win its third straight division crown.
