During a 20-9 loss to the New Orleans Saints last week, Minnesota Vikings’ quarterback Matt Cassel suffered a left foot injury and left the game. Teddy Bridgewater entered the game and played pretty well, completing 12-of-20 passes for 150 yards.

Earlier this week, the Vikings placed Cassel on injured reserve with broken bones in his left foot, meaning Bridgewater, the 32nd and final pick of the first round of this year’s draft, is the quarterback for the rest of the season.

He’s played very well on Sunday and has helped the Vikings take a 21-14 lead over the Atlanta Falcons. Bridgewater’s first touchdown of the game came on a 13-yard run in the second quarter and is what gave the Vikings the lead.

You can check out Bridgewater’s touchdown run below.

Teddy has also already clearly won the Minnesota fans over.
