Now I get it, this has nothing to do with football. How stupid of me! Bridgewater being back meant more than winning the division. I don't think anyone's going to top McFeely's (real name!) wet dreams on this:

With all due respect to Bridgewater and starter Case Keenum, the tale of this team isn't who is playing quarterback. That's been a faux controversy. The real story is head coach Mike Zimmer's defense, which remains purely savage. That's what will decide whether Minnesota—the state and the team—can party hearty in early February.
The more interesting story on this day was seeing Bridgewater jog onto the field early in the fourth quarter and hearing 66,833 purple-clad crazies roar their approval while rising to their feet.
Bridgewater was back on the field and that meant something. Emotionally, it might have meant more than clinching the division.

Yeah um NO Mr McFeely, I'm pretty darn sure that our offense will have a WHOLE lot to do with whether we party hardy in February, just like it had A LOT to do with winning the division. We won't be playing the Bengals again in the playoffs, we'll be playing teams that can put up points and we'll have do the same. Hey its great that Teddy is walking again, let alone wearing a helmet. I feel that too. But the feel good story ends when it comes to actual football.
"That Bridgewater didn't do much on his three series—a tipped interception, a drop by Michael Floyd and three kneel-downs—didn't matter. The act of playing, of being on the field after his knee was destroyed, was the big headline."
Well um NO, McFeely, the football part actually does matter too. His performance was poor, just like the reality-grounded among us projected it would be, and that's a real concern for a playoff-bound team.
