Teddy Bridgewater owns up to lack of hustle on Darius Slay’s TD return during Broncos’ loss to Eagles: “It’s unacceptable.”

Broncos Teddy Bridgewater owned up to a lack of hustle on Sunday’s decisive play of the Broncos’ 30-13 loss to the Eagles when the quarterback declined to attempt to tackle Philadelphia’s Darius Slay on an 83-yard fumble return for a touchdown.

Upon reviewing the film, coach Vic Fangio said he’d “at least like to see Teddy try to make a play at (Slay).” Meanwhile, the quarterback was much more critical of himself, calling his effort on the final play of the third quarter “unacceptable.”

“We watched it (Monday) as a team, and Coach (Fangio) pointed out that my effort had to be better there,” Bridgewater said.
