Teddy found his old seat

New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton found time to chuckle after squeaking out a win against Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, his former protégé.
“I don’t remember him moving that well,” Payton said in his postgame media conference call. “He got out of some tough looks. Obviously he played well.”
Bridgewater ran twice to gain 10 yards, but one of those scrambles went out of bounds — and into the Saints sideline. His momentum carried him past a bemused Alvin Kamara until he fell into the New Orleans bench, right in his old spot between Drew Brees and Taysom Hill.
