Brian Murphy: For Teddy Bridgewater, a close-up look at how it's done

Teddy Bridgewater was a kindergarten rug rat when Peyton Manning debuted in the NFL on Sept. 6, 1998 -- two days after a pair of Stanford computer whizzes founded Google.

Manning, 39, is older than Internet pay dirt. Go ahead. Google it.

Bridgewater, 22, is younger than any Vikings starter and the third-youngest player on the 53-man roster. Google that, too.

Perhaps the most intriguing game on the Week 4 schedule is Sunday's matchup between Minnesota's incubator baby and Denver's museum piece. Into thin air and the rowdy cauldron of Mile High Stadium goes Bridgewater, whose 16th start promises to be his most demanding road test yet.
