against backs fourth games hopefully previous pull road three tough
Psychologically, at least for our confidence, that was huge. We got in that fourth quarter, and the previous three games we weren't able to pull it out. Our backs are still against the wall. It's going to be a tough road ahead. Hopefully this does something for us.
few football fourth games last plays reach resolve shows three today weeks win
We scored 14 in the fourth quarter, and the last few weeks we haven't been able to do that. I think it just shows the resolve of this team. We had three very frustrating weeks -- games that were very much in our reach -- and today we made the plays we need to make to win the football game.
clean entirely game needs passing plays realize timing watch worked
We had two big plays that worked and got us the win, but there is still some timing there and some work that needs to be done, ... You watch the game and realize we have to clean up some things. The passing game wasn't entirely there.
best games great quite teams
That was quite a while ago. But it's a great memory, one of the best games I've ever been part of, one of the best teams I've ever been part of.
ball game last passing ran
We were one-dimensional last year. We ran the ball very well, I thought, but our passing game was lacking. When you can have that balance, you're more efficient.
against feeling games good halfway hard overall played pleased position team tough won
We're not in any position to make any proclamations because we're only halfway through. All we can say is we're pleased with where we're at, 5-3. It could be better; it could be worse. You are what you are and we're a 5-3 team halfway through. Probably the overall feeling is that we feel pretty good about ourselves. We've been in tough games and won them. We've played against good defenses and offenses, and for the most part we've done very well. But it's hard to say at this point.
best fly following game hurt played week
It's not going to fly with me. The week following the injury, we played Dallas, and I had my best game when the hamstring hurt the most.
critical four games great guys hard last realize riding season tough worked year
Our season is riding on this game. The guys have worked real hard all year to get to this place. From where we were at 5-6, it's pretty remarkable. All of that being said and as great as these last four games have been, if we don't get this one, it would be tough to end the season that way. We have to realize how critical this is.
best case games obviously playoffs
You need your best games in the playoffs to keep going. That obviously was not the case today.
best defense difficult football game played playoff win won
This is great. We've played our best football in December, and to get a playoff win on the road, as you know, is very difficult to do. Our defense was incredible. You can't say enough about them. They won the game for us.
games good great guy purpose ready regular role time
Patrick is a great guy and a very good player. He's a good friend, and I think he's going to have a great year. The backup's role is to always be ready. That's the purpose of preseason, to get ready for the regular season, so I feel good about the games I had and the time I was in there.
clinton effort game hit men mouth nine
I really thought Clinton was going to get hit in the mouth for a seven-yard loss. They had nine men in the box. That effort was the big play of the game in my opinion.
break calls felt games
These things even out, they really do, and sometimes you get a break. I felt like we got a break with Sellers that week, I really do. There's going to be games where you don't get the calls that you want.
close difficult disservice game last move team thinking
If you play long enough in this league, you're going to have some real close ones, difficult ones to overcome, but you've got to move on. If you don't, you're doing your team a disservice by thinking about the last game and not about the upcoming game.
