Carolina Panthers running back Mike Davis was unhappy with the hit Teddy Bridgewater took during the team’s loss to the Atlanta Falcons that knocked the quarterback out of the game briefly on Thursday.
Bridgewater was looking to scramble for a 1st down in the third quarter when he was tripped by Falcons linebacker Dante Fowler Jr. Bridgewater went down and was immediately hit by Charles Harris.
The quarterback was down on the field for some time before being taken off the field to be looked at by the training staff. Harris was penalized for unnecessary roughness and ejected from the game. P.J. Walker came in for Bridgewater and led the Panthers to a field goal to cut their deficit to two points.
Davis said after the game that it was a “cheap shot.”

“I think it was a cheap shot. It was late. Hit him in the neck. That’s just something you just hate to see. That’s unnecessary,” Davis told reporters.
Davis added that it meant a lot to see Bridgewater get back into the game in the fourth quarter.
“For me, I can’t speak for everybody, but something like that, a lot of guys would have been like, ‘yeah, I’m not going back in.’ I just feel like he earned a lot of respect from me and with him doing that, it just makes me want to go out there and play harder for him,' he said. 'That’s how I took it. I mean, you hate to see it. When you see a guy, no matter what’s going on, he wants to go out there and play and he’ll play through it, I feel like that sends a message to his teammates what kind of person he is.”
Bridgewater also talked about the hit.
“It was just a play where I was stepping up in the pocket,' Bridgewater said.' I just knew that someone stuck their leg out from Atlanta and as I was tripped, I was stumbling and I knew at some point guys would be swarming so I just tried to get down and protect myself. I don’t really know who hit me, I just know that somebody got ejected. I was in the tent when all that happened so I didn’t really get to see. I know we finished with a field goal so I think the guys responded well.'
Falcons interim head coach Raheem Morris wasn't sure that Harris' hit warranted an ejection.
'I know Teddy is going to get protected, obviously, defenseless player as a quarterback, you’re going to protect the quarterback so much,' Morris said. 'I know he ran up on him. I know he hit him. I’m not sure if he made full contact with his head, but obviously the officials saw it that way and so did New York. So, you have to deal with hit, get him off the field and you keep playing and you finish the game.'
Nonetheless, Atlanta held on for the 25-17 victory.
Teddy Bridgewater Stats
The New Orleans Saints lost backup quarterback Teddy Bridgewater to the Carolina Panthers, with the 27-year-old passer expected to sign a three-year, $63 million contract as a free agent. ESPN’s Dan Graziano first reported the details on Bridgewater’s agreed-upon deal.
Carrying a $15 million signing bonus and $40 million in guarantees over the first two years, Bridgewater will also earn base salaries of $8 million in 2020, $17 million in 2021, and $20 million in 2022. He also has the typical workout and roster bonuses you’ll find in most NFL contracts.
A $21 million annual take is a nice payday for Bridgewater, and it will qualify the Saints for a third-round draft pick in 2021 should they remain quiet in free agency. That would replace the 2018 draft pick traded away to acquire him, bringing things full-circle. For added symbolism, Bridgewater will play against the Saints twice a year for NFC South-rival Carolina.
What’s interesting about the contract’s structure is that the Panthers can get out of it as soon as 2021 if they really want to, though cutting Bridgewater next offseason would only save $3 million against the salary cap. But if the Panthers make a move for a quarterback prospect in next month’s draft and think they offer a better chance to win than Bridgewater, a pathway out of this deal has been drawn up in case they need it.
