—CBS has Teddy Bridgewater at the top of their 10 biggest NFL week five surprises.

1. Teddy Bridgewater ties his career-high in touchdown passes (four)

What a story. Bridgewater has gone from suffering a knee injury so bad that it left his teammates stunned and devastated on the practice field to resurfacing with a new franchise and tying his career-high with four touchdown passes during the New Orleans Saints’ 31-24 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 5. Bridgewater finished with 314 passing yards and four touchdowns. It was the most yards he’s thrown for since 2015, when he was a member of the Minnesota Vikings and the Saints needed every one of them to help defeat a Buccaneers team that put up 24 points against the vaunted New Orleans defense at home.

Bridgewater had an opportunity to sign with the Miami Dolphins this offseason and compete to start, but instead, he made the correct decision to re-sign with a stable franchise that boasts an elite offensive line, one of the best offensive play-callers in the NFL, and a roster that was one blown pass interference call away from the Super Bowl in 2018. It took him a few weeks to get going, but now Bridgewater has a chance to reinvent himself just in time for what should turn out to be a luxurious free agency period for him this offseason.

—Richard Sherman also eloquently eviscerated Baker Mayfield after the game for refusing to shake hands with San Francisco players before it.

“That’s some college s—. It’s ridiculous. We’re all trying to get psyched up, but shaking hands with your opponent — that’s NFL etiquette. And when you pull bush league stuff, that’s disrespectful to the game. And believe me, that’s gonna get us fired up.”

Apparently it did, as Sherman picked off Mayfield two minutes into the game. Sherman wasn’t the only one to take a shot at Mayfield on a miserable night, as Nick Bosa clowned his college-era flag-waving celebration.

Sherman said it was particularly offensive for a young player to not participate in the perfunctory ritual.

“Respect the game,” Sherman said. “You can have rivals, but pay your respect in that moment — especially when you’re young. He hasn’t earned anything in this league. How many games has he won? He’s acting like he was the MVP last year. If [Patrick] Mahomes did that, it would be one thing. But he would never do that, because he has too much respect for the game.

“And when you see a guy who doesn’t? You humble him every chance you get. Because eventually, he will have respect for the league — or he’ll be out of it.”

“That’s some college shit” is a wonderful burn.
