On By Littum

The Lions are scheduled to wear the uniforms when they face the Minnesota Vikings in Week 18 at Ford Field in their regular season finale.

According to the Detroit Football Network, “Threadbacks will make a 2024 appearance for the team’s season finale against the Minnesota Vikings. As it turns out, the final home game has evolved into as much of a tradition for throwbacks as Thanksgiving. Since adding the throwback to the rotation in 2017 , it will be the third time the Lions have worn the classics for the final home game.”

Teddy Bridewater plans to return to the NFL

Former Detroit Lions quarterback Teddy Bridgewater found success coaching high school football after retiring from the National Football League.

Bridgewater won a Florida High School State Championship on Saturday in his first season as head coach.

Coach Miami Northwestern, his alma mater, the talented quarterback and his team defeated Jacksonville Raines, 41–0, in the Class 3A state championship game down in Florida.

Bridgewater went 12–2 and helped his alma mater win its first state title since 2019.

Appearing on NFL Network, the former Lions signal caller expressed that he plans to return to the NFL and could even join a team in the next two weeks.

Bridgewater shared on Tuesday’s edition of The Insiders: “That’s the plan. My team knows that’s the plan. We wanted to win a state championship and then the coach goes back to the league, see what happens and then come back in February uden for sæsonen, fortsæt med at træne gymnasiefodbold, vi får se, hvordan det udspiller sig.”

Bridgewater served as the backup quarterback to Jared Goff during the 2023 season. He appeared in a game.

“We’ll see how the next week and a half, two weeks plays out, might get signed with a team or something,” Bridgewater explained. “And then come back to coach high school football in February. So we’ll see.”
