We talked about it all week, how this could be the game that we throw it 50 times, and I think we almost did,
I'm shaking, I'm getting a little scared. He has the best quarterback rating in the history of the game right now. I don't know if we should let him throw anymore.
Because of the matchups that he creates, when we're trying to throw him the ball, he's able to get open in a lot of different ways against just about anybody,
I felt comfortable. But it wasn't my best day. I wasn't perfect and I wish I had thrown the ball a little bit better.
It was 50-50. Give it to the best running back in the league or throw it to the best tight end in the league.
We didn't throw the ball to him at all. That's partially my fault. We didn't get around to calling plays for him because we had too much other stuff going on.
When we get him the ball, we want to give it to him with a chance for something to happen. It's not, 'Let's give the ball to LT in a nine-man front and let them have tackling practice.' That's not the point. When we encounter every game situation, we're looking at how we can put LT in a situation to succeed, whether it's throwing it to him or handing it off.
The linebacker had his back to him. If I throw it out in front, I've got to make a perfect throw. I throw it in the back of the linebacker knowing, because I trust Keenan, he'll adjust and make a play.
took a moment to kind of just stare at the sky and think about the past seven months.
We went into a couple of sports equipment stores and asked if they had heard of Darren Bennett, ... They all said he's great; he made it to America.
We felt our defense had done its part, and it was time for us to do ours and put the game away.
It was tough to know that was the end of our chances to make it into the playoffs. To come home and get to spend time with family, I think that got everyone's mind off it a short period of time and allowed everyone to take a deep breath and see what can we accomplish this last game.
The whole team has tried to do too much. That's what happens sometimes when you have success. You feel like you just need to do better than better. At times, better is good enough to win. I think you can try too hard.
Sometimes you get in those situations, you try to do too much, try to say, 'I'm the guy who has to make every play and it's my responsibility to do everything,' which it's not,
