As soon as the Broncos QB got hit, it was immediately clear that something was wrong. You don’t go limp like that unless something is really wrong.
According to Ian Rapoport, Bridgewater has been taken to a hospital and he “has movement in all his extremities.”

Let’s all hope like hell this isn’t anything serious, and it’s more of just a stinger for Bridgewater. The last thing you want is someone getting seriously hurt.
