Shorter throws helped make Teddy Bridgewater NFL's most accurate QB

Teddy Bridgewater this season fell short of his lofty goal of completing 70 percent of his passes, something that only five NFL quarterbacks have ever done. He ranked ninth in the NFL with a completion percentage of 65.3.

But the second-year signal-caller might take solace in knowing he was the NFL’s most accurate quarterback in 2015, according to Pro Football Focus.

Yes, you read that right. No starting QB was on target more often than Bridgewater when factoring in drops, throwaways and passes batted down of the line of scrimmage. His accuracy percentage was 79.3. Kirk Cousins, Russell Wilson, Sam Bradford and Tom Brady rounded out the top five.
