Martin Edward Schottenheimeris a former professional American football player and coach. Over his career, he has served as head coach of the Cleveland Browns, Kansas City Chiefs, Washington Redskins, and San Diego Chargers.

He has had a pretty good week of preparation.

close couple failed games home last offensive side stadium ways weeks win
We have not done the things on the offensive side particularly the last couple of weeks that you need to be able to do. Normally, we find ways to win at home (they were 4-4 at Qualcomm Stadium this season), we find ways to win close games ---- and we have failed to do that this season.
against critical field giving goal kicked lead talked three week yards
The critical thing in my view, when you look at the whole thing is, we kicked the field goal to take the lead and they go 62 yards for a touchdown in three plays. We talked all week about giving up big plays. You can't do it against any team, particularly against Pittsburgh.
designed era four people three win
To be able to do what they have done in an era in which everything is designed to get people to be .500 win-loss percentage, and they go out and win three championships in four years, to me that's remarkable.
area believe fact football light might perform question team today year
We did not perform well in any area today and that's awfully disappointing for all of us. We're a better football team than we were a year ago. I believe that. Some might question that in light of the fact that we didn't play very well today.
entire needs player stay throughout
If a player is on the sideline, he needs to stay there throughout the entire game.
finished found picked proud today
We finished things off today and picked up a big win. We battled and found a way. I couldn't be more proud of our men.
cannot complacent games good playing winning
We cannot be complacent with playing good but not winning games.
battle coming knew lived overall performance pleased
We knew coming in this was going to be a battle and it lived up to that...I was pleased with the overall performance of the team.
controlled huge invited last pulling today win
We controlled what we could today by pulling out a huge victory. We're still going to try to win the last two and see if we get invited when it's over. That's all we can do.
improve
We're very disappointed, but we are going to look at and see what we can do to improve for this week.
ability came everybody football plays terrific
Everybody got their money's worth. It was a terrific football game. It came down to our ability to make some plays in the end.
