I understand what we're doing. We're playing the odds a little bit. Our defense is playing well and we're trying to be as smart as we can. ... We'll continue to do that, but there will be times when we come out and attack a little more. When Bill says, 'Put the metal down,' I'll be ready to go.
The thing I liked best about our offense tonight is that we finally got out of our own way, ... We were making mistakes, but not because the defense was forcing us to do it. When we run the ball like we did tonight, we're going to be good offensively.
That was the plan. The way our defense was playing, we wanted to keep the pressure on them.
We put our defense in some horrible spots. They had to keep us in the ball game until we could kind of get it together.
I thought our defense completely shut them down today. They were able to keep their offense of the field. I thought that was big. They never really got it going because our defense really played well today.
Really what they played was a similar style of defense to what they played last year when they went on the run. They gave up some yards here and there, but they tightened up when we got into scoring territory.
Anytime you turn the ball over four times and still end up on top, ... it says a lot about what your defense is doing.
We showed that we have a little resiliency. There was no panic ... We were able to bounce back and be efficient.

I've thrown for a lot of yards and a lot of numbers and played a lot of games and been on some very competitive teams. But I think for my career to feel complete, I need to be the guy on the field quarterbacking the team when we win a championship. That's why I'm here.
I should've thrown it high enough and far enough wide that either Terry was going to get it or no one was going to get it. I didn't put enough on it, and that was the game.
I've been very impressed with Marion. He went through setbacks both physically and kind of mentally and emotionally. All of the things that go on being a rookie, particularly being a rookie playing for Bill. It's not an easy task.
I've never had a big receiver like that,
People try to pigeonhole Bill and make it out like he just wants to run the ball and play defense. I've been with him before, and we threw it more than anyone in the history of the league. He's not afraid to take a chance on a trick play here and there. He felt that would give us a chance, and it obviously did. Those plays turned into points for us.
