Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater taking too many hits
DENVER -- The picture of Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater walking gingerly back to the team's locker room after Sunday's loss to the Las Vegas Raiders was worth a 1,000 words or 17 hits, take your pick.
Bridgewater had the kind of contusion-inducing day that won't be conducive to a productive workplace environment if it's repeated very often.
"Definitely, that's on us," said Broncos center Lloyd Cushenberry III. "That's our job, to protect whoever is back there. If he gets hit that many times, obviously something is wrong. We have to fix that fast."
