That's why, as a guy who has been around long enough to understand that, I feel so strongly about wanting to win a championship here. Because if you do, your name lasts forever.
We've got to beat our injury bug. Other than that, we have the pieces in place.
We knew coming into this one it was the biggest game of our season. We needed this one. We didn't play great. It wasn't always pretty. But we did enough. Our defense held together.
At this point, it's just a football game. Obviously, there are a lot of things surrounding it, but it's still just a game. I think everyone in this locker room and in their locker room probably feels the same way.
We've been assured that it's nothing serious. We've been told he'll be back in a couple weeks.
We knew we needed a big drive there and we got it.
O'Brien added. ''And it still came down to a last-second stop on the 1-inch line. That just shows you the talent that they have and the capabilities they have.
We needed a spark. We were struggling and sagging a little bit on offense in the first half.
Rushing the ball is all about ball control. If you run the ball, you control the clock. If you control the clock, you usually control the game.
Our quarterback is playing so great right now. You can see how he's improving exponentially each week.
I think we did some good things. Eli was a little bit more consistent. He made some great decisions out there and he was a good leader in the huddle. I think execution-wise we weren't perfect, we still have a lot of room for improvement. That being said, we're ecstatic that we're 2-0. We have great team chemistry right now with everyone doing their part, but we're still not holding up our end completely and it's going to take some time.
I think we have the components, but we've got to keep showing that we can win a lot of different ways, like we already have,
I think at halftime we realized we were probably putting a little bit too much on Eli and we went back to running the ball and doing basic things.
I think we believe it. I don't think there's a doubt in our minds. But as always in this game you have to prove it, not only to people who are watching, but also to yourself.
