We knew it was going to be a four-quarter game. Experience comes into play when you are down like that and you take their best punch. (It) was a factor in the second half.
best coach coaches consider great missing resume
He's been a great coach for a long time, and the only thing that's been missing on his resume is a championship and now he has that championship. And now I think you really have to consider him one of the best coaches in the game.

against ball best football head knocking missing people regular run teams whatever winning
In the playoffs, you play the best teams in your conference, so you're not going to be able to run the ball as well as you had during the regular season. People are missing out on that fact. It's not about just knocking your head against the wall. It's about winning the football game, so you do whatever you have to do to win.

You have to look at where he came from, undrafted, unlooked at, nobody really knew who he was. That's a very humbling experience, but I think he appreciates the opportunities he has because he didn't have them in college.

Toward the end of the game today, I said we've been hunting these teams, trying to get respect. And now maybe it's a situation where we're going to be hunted. We've got to understand the situation and stay as hungry and keep trying to prove that we're a good football team.
