advantage coached controlled game good job played stopping tempo
The way they controlled the tempo of the game ... once you did have the ball, you had to try to take advantage of it. They did a good job stopping us defensively in the first half. They just played better and coached better than we did.
both broke chance good help matter mike
It really doesn't matter who starts, ... Mike's been our starter. Both will get a chance to help us win. I thought it was a good combination in the game. Mike broke some tackles and Tatum was able to get us some big-time plays.

It's always nice to win against a team that you know you're going against the best, from a coaching standpoint, offense, defense and special teams. I have the utmost respect for what they've done, and we really feel fortunate to come away with a win against a team that has played at that level consistently for a number of years.

It will be a game time decision, ... We'll get a chance to stretch it out a little bit and see what he can do.

allowed best game half per second yards
They've allowed 2.9 yards (rushing) per game in the second half of the season. That's unprecedented. You always want to play your best going into the playoffs, and that's what they've been doing.
bowl division gives goal home playoff statistics super wild win won
So, obviously, first comes the AFC West. The goal is to win playoff games, but the division is first, ... You can do it other ways, and we have won a Super Bowl as a wild card, but the statistics show there is no question, being at home gives you an advantage.
