No need to apologize, Teddy; it's all good as long as Saints keep finding ways to win

Teddy Bridgewater apologized to Saints defensive coordinator Dennis Allen following Sunday's game.

Not that the Saints' backup quarterback really needed to.

Nobody in the Saints' close-knit locker room cares about how they win or who gets the credit.

They only care about the end result, which for the fourth straight week without Drew Brees was another Saints victory.

Simply put, the Saints just keep scrapping and finding ways to win.

Sometimes it's been an all-around performance. Other times it's been Bridgewater. And sometimes, like Sunday, it's the defense.

"Make plays and have more points than the other team at the end," Saints left tackle Terron Armstead put it frankly.

When this one ended on a sunny afternoon in Florida, the scoreboard at TIAA Bank Field read Saints 13, Jaguars 6.

"Great teams find ways to win and dig deep within," Bridgewater said. "It feels good to get back on the plane and go back to New Orleans with a win."

The large contingent of Saints fans who made the trip to the Sunshine State chanted "Ted-dy, Ted-dy" again, just like they did seven days earlier in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. But the chants on this Sunday should have gone to the defense, which for the second time in three weeks ruled the day.

It's why Bridgewater, who was solid (24 of 36 passes for 240 yards and a touchdown) but not as spectacular as last week, offered that apology to Allen.

"I'm sorry," Bridgewater told him. "I don't want to have to put you in that situation where you're having to fight all game and making it hard on you."

The only points the defense allowed were a pair of field goals in the first half.
