Teddy Bridgewater Upset With Lack of Effort on Darius Slay Touchdown

It wasn't the best afternoon of Teddy Bridgewater's career on Sunday.

The Broncos quarterback tallied just 226 passing yards on 36 attempts in a 30–13 loss to the Eagles, a pedestrian effort as Denver fell to 5–5. But it wasn't Bridgewater's arm that drew the ire of Broncos fans.

Bridgewater failed to attempt a tackle on Eagles cornerback Darius Slay scored on an 83-yard fumble return, a play that extended Philadelphia's lead to 14 entering the fourth quarter. Bridgewater addressed the play on Monday.

"We watched it [Monday] as a team, coach pointed it out, that hey, my effort had to be better there, and I totally agree,'' Bridgewater said.
