EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Teddy Bridgewater’s first start at quarterback for his hometown Miami Dolphins lasted one offensive play.
He was forced to exit against the New York Jets on Sunday at MetLife Stadium due to the NFL and NFL Players Association adjustment to the league’s concussion protocol that was announced Saturday.
With rookie seventh-round pick Skylar Thompson taking the reins at quarterback, the Jets pulled away in the fourth quarter for a decisive divisional victory, 40-17, even as the Dolphins posted their best rushing output of the season.
