needed obviously plays
Nothing is ever easy. Obviously we had some big plays tonight, and we needed them.
ball came driven felt needed
It came from the gut. We'd driven the ball and I felt like we needed to come away with a touchdown there.
ball created distance driving felt greater momentum needed noise rewarded road stadium team volume
However, on the road in that stadium under those circumstances, I felt our team needed to be rewarded for driving the ball that distance to take some of the momentum out of the crowd. If we would have not scored, then I think we would have even created a greater volume of noise in that stadium.
learn sure win
I'm sure it's everything, ... I'm sure it's a combination of things, but you have to learn how to win on the road.

I'm just telling you that in the pas he's had these thing and he's been able to overcome them in 48 hours, which we're hoping would be the case here.

football gave great passing smith steve stop team
Steve Smith had a great year, no question. Even more so when you think that every team has it on their checklist to do something about Steve Smith. The other day we gave up a lot of passing yardage to some outstanding receivers. But our No. 1 thing will still be to stop the run. That's where we start.
defending difficulty threw trouble
They just threw the ball, and we had difficulty with their receivers. We had trouble defending it without a doubt.
overtime performance
It was a frustrating day, without a doubt. In overtime we were never able to get the ball. It was just a very disappointing performance on our part.
bruise counting hoping type
I'm hoping and counting on it being some type of bruise or some kind of sprain. To what degree, I don't know.
best choice family kerry tried
It was a choice that Kerry made that was best for him and his family and his future. And so we tried to do the best we could with it.
Take nothing away from Dallas, but we had opportunities and didn't take them,
amazing awful brought certainly continue covered discussed distance job word
It's amazing to me that with the distance that has to be covered when it's third-and-12 or third-and-13, that we can't do a better job of defending. It certainly is discussed an awful lot, brought to a lot of people's attention. And it will continue to be ... If you want to use that word frustrating, that's it.
