Teddy Bridgewater is fine not starting in Week 1 with the Minnesota Vikings.

Bridgewater will attempt to beat out Matt Cassel and Christian Ponder.

“It’s not tough at all because I have nothing but my best interest for the team,” Bridgewater said. “And I’m very excited about this team that we have here. …If I’m not the guy then I know the coaches have the best interest for the team also. My teammates also have the best interest for the team. So in order for me to be a better player, I have to have the best interest for the team and want nothing but the best interest for the team.”
