That's the challenge right now is to bounce back from a really tough game where we had some breaks that went the other way and then just kind of got beat up.
I've got to throw that ball higher and out of bounds. It was just a major-league mistake on my part. I just didn't get it up high enough. It's unfortunate. I've got to make a better play.
I've got guys that are getting open for me and making plays. When that happens, my job becomes pretty easy.
It was over about 30 seconds after it started.
It's something that we talked about and worked on extensively this last week, and obviously we still have some work to do there. One of the important things is we've got to be in third-and-shorter yard situations.
Everyone knows Bill challenged this team to get to 5-3 at the bye. It's a team with strong character that will respond when challenged.
It just kind of starting hurting yesterday, ... One of those things.
It's going to change things, scheme-wise and in my approach to the game, ... Obviously, when you (have) a Pro Bowl left tackle, when you have a guy of that caliber playing on your left side, you just kind of put him over there and forget about it. You just rely on him to handle whoever is rushing on him.
It's going to be a great challenge to run the ball against (the Chargers), but we're not going to back down from that. We're still going to run the ball. We feel like we can be a very good rushing football team, and we're not going to let anyone chase us away from that.
It shows what we can be when we get out of our own way. The last couple weeks, we made some mistakes that put us in some close games and when that happens, you're going to lose some of them.
It's great to get back here, back home.
It seems like we're a little reactive right now. We need to be more proactive in our approach.
It was a team victory and it took everything we had. Hopefully this is a step for us in the right direction.
They came in here and got themselves back on track a little bit,
