It was Case Keenum who made the 'Minneapolis Miracle' throw to Stefon Diggs. Kirk Cousins was signed by the Vikings as a UFA around 2 months later.

Teddy Bridgewater will never regain his pre-knee injury skills. It's a near miracle that Bridgewater even was able to play again.  Before the knee injury, I believe Bridgewater was on a path to be a good ( not great ) starting QB in the NFL. Stats didn't reflect the moxie that Teddy brought to the table.

Yeah it was Keenum, even worse really, he helped get that te to the NFC Championship.  If Teddy was a QB like Jackson or Watson that used their athletic ability i would agree, that was never Teddy.  The only stat I brought up was TDs.  TDs=points.  You can have all the moxie in the world if that's what you want to call it but if you're not getting in the endzone it doesn't really matter.  Defenses know just play close when playing against Teddy because he doesn't have the arm to beat you deep and it's not in his game,  it was the same way for him in college.
