beat becomes fourth game longer ourselves striking within
That's the most important thing in my mind, to keep this game within striking distance, ... If we can do that and not beat ourselves and not give up some of the big plays, make them do things methodically and slowly, the longer we can keep this thing going into the fourth quarter. Then it becomes a play here or a play there.

Mile High is a tough place to play, and we're going to have to play our best to beat them.
beat coaches notice sound watch

beat best bring detroit disguise game kicking options riding safe winning
Options are cool. I think we should play it safe and just beat the Lions. But we can't take them lightly. Well, we can, and we probably will, but we'll disguise it well. Like Harrington said earlier, Detroit is riding a one-game winning streak, and their kicking game is on fire. We know Detroit will give us their best shot, so we better bring our C game at worst.
beat biggest concern continue himself pressure timing trying
He's still a young quarterback, ... He's going to continue to grow. He's probably going to have setbacks. That's part of the process. We're trying to get the timing down. But my biggest concern with him is that he doesn't put the pressure on himself, doesn't beat himself up too much.

We mixed it up and did a good job of dropping eight and bringing pressure and trying to disrupt them and get them out of their rhythm. They hit some big plays there in the fourth quarter, and we were fortunate to get out of there with the win.

We missed him. Yeah, we won some games, but this guy is one of the best at his position in the National Football League and is recognized as such.

We went back to the pure basics, with the mindset that has allowed us to get to this point. We can't change that now.
coming grind knew turned walking
We had the opportunity, even in overtime. It's very frustrating at this point, walking away with a defeat. We knew coming in that it was going to be a grind and it turned out that way.
