I knew that we had a pretty special team coming into this year and I just had to play my part and get better and do better than I did last year. The development has been a big thing.

best certain defines football gets good instead last matter mistakes playing playoffs season totally tougher within year
You go out and you try to do a little too much instead of playing within yourself and playing within the system. The thing this year is to try not to make mistakes you made last year. (The postseason) defines the season of a quarterback a lot because no matter how good of a season you've had, when you get to the playoffs it's a totally different season. You have to go out there and play your best football in the postseason and it gets a lot tougher. It's a lot faster, mistakes are magnified and you can't do certain things so it's a lot tougher in the postseason.

Everyone always said coming into the end of the season that if we had to throw the ball, if someone stops the run, then we won't be able to win. But in the last couple games, we have won by throwing the ball. We can prove that we are a balanced offense.
