Coach Mike McDaniel began his press conference on Friday by announcing that Skylar Thompson will be starting at quarterback against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
Thompson is starting his second-straight game after completing 19 of 33 pass attempts for 166 yards and an interception against the New York Jets in Week 18.
“Skylar (Thompson) is going to start,” McDaniel said. “Teddy [Bridgewater]’s done a great job really just being a part of the team, getting himself closer and closer to being able to play the way that he knows he needs to play.
