doubt field goal kick lower players win
It doesn't get any lower than this. There was no doubt we were going to kick the field goal and win the game. You don't want to have to look your other players in the eyes, because you let them down.
answered needed win
We needed to come in and get a win and we did that. We answered the bell.

To come across the country on a short week to win and fight back the way we did, ... it was pretty nice.

If we can win on Sunday, then we can worry about who we play and where in the playoffs.
bad bring doubt drive field football goal good guy highest highs kick lower picked win
Football can bring you the highest highs and the lower lows, and it doesn't get any lower than this. We had a good drive going, there was no doubt that we were going to kick the field goal and win the game. I made a bad throw, and the guy picked it off.
game revenge time win
It wasn't a revenge game or a get-back game, because that was a long time ago, ... This was just a big win for us.
control hope loses team win worry
We're 10-5, and nothing has been clinched yet, but we still control our own destiny. If we had to say, 'We hope this team loses and we win,' that would be hard. But we don't have to worry about that. If we can win on Sunday, then we can worry about who we play and where in the playoffs.
against division five good intensity last match played quarters ready shoe tampa trying week win wire
Hey, if the shoe was on the other foot, we'd like nothing more than to keep someone from our division from making the playoffs. That's what it's about. You're trying to win games. We know it's going to be tough. They played five quarters last week and went down to the wire against Tampa Bay, and they're going to come out ready to play against us. We just have to match that intensity and try and do some good things.
revenge winning games
It wasn't a revenge game or a get-back game, because that was a long time ago. This was just a big win for us.
along chance deeper dive fast fun gives goes moved overall pace putting year
We moved at that fast pace in camp. We got a lot of things done. It wasn't like that first year when you're putting in a new system, where it was like, 'This goes in today.' You will have some mess-ups along the way, but overall it gives you the chance to, I guess, dive deeper into the offense. And it's quicker. That's what makes it fun as a player.
behind career couple extremely game girl guys last learn light mean move played saying scar slept spend talked team throw time watch
When I talked to you guys after the game on Sunday, it was just one of those things where, if you've ever played a team sport, you're down, ... Certainly, I was extremely down. But things get put into perspective. When I get home, I have a little girl and get to spend time with her. It doesn't take away the pain, especially when you watch it on film. But that's the NFL. I don't mean to make light of it but I'll probably throw another one before my career is up. That's just part of it. It's going to happen. I've slept well the last couple of nights. You have to move on. I try to put things behind me. I'm not saying it's not a scar or anything, but you have to learn and move on.
good lines solid sunday team
We feel we're a solid team. But going out and doing it is another. We have a good team on paper, but if you can't play between those lines on Sunday it does you no good.
along coach deeper dive expected fast faster fox fun likes move offense
We expected to move at a fast pace, and that's how coach Fox likes to practice. That's what's fun. ... You will have some mess-ups along the line, but you can move at a faster pace, and dive deeper into the offense quicker. And that's what makes it fun as a player.
