I feel very in control. It's just breaking the huddles and getting the guys to the huddle, and getting a snap count called correctly and know where to go with the ball.
Our fans are the 12th man. Wherever we go, they're going to be there, and they're going to be cheering and yelling. No matter how many guys a stadium seats, they're going to be there.
I just told the guys that we're going to be OK. We drove down the field there a couple of times and couldn't get it in. All of a sudden, we just started executing.
That kind of hurts me. Maurice and Lawrence were definitely guys who had a bad past. They're not even in the league anymore. But I'm a hard worker. I'm going to keep on fighting through my ups and downs. That's the difference between me and them.
This gives our guys a lot of confidence, by getting two wins in other people's stadiums. It's going to be big when we go back home (this) week.
This time around, we just executed our plays a little more and (the comeback) happened.
This week I concentrated more on staying in the pocket and getting the ball out of my hands, ... I didn't want to take any unnecessary licks like I did last week.
We watched their defensive line, and we noticed that they weren't that athletic. I just wanted to pick up chunks of yardage. There were a couple of designed runs, but for the most part, I just tried to pull it down and get what I could get.
We went into halftime and the coaches made a lot of great adjustments. They called the right plays and we just went out in the second half and tried to make it happen.
I don't feel like I was forcing things. Sometimes I had to get rid of the ball and hope my receivers made a play. Unfortunately, they didn't.
I always wanted to be the opposite of Mike. I never wanted to be on the same team. I'm always trying to get a shot at him. I want to beat him. You always want to beat your older brother. I'm looking forward to that.
One fumble slipped out of my hands. The other fumbles was my ball security and me being reckless out there.
I always want to complete at least 60 percent of my passing and have a good touchdown-to-interception ratio, so I'm always working on that,
I apologize for letting my emotions get the best of me Saturday, ... What I did was wrong and I am sorry.
