ball broken guy keeps plays running saving though
There've been a lot of broken plays ... and Brian's the guy who's been saving us. He's been running to the ball making tackles. Even though it may have been a 20-yard gain, he keeps it from being a touchdown with his speed.
amount defense defensive definitely plays
Everything is going to come down to what defense plays the best, and which is going to make the least amount of mistakes. It's definitely going to be a defensive struggle.
almost defense good mouth playing plays taste team victory
You play good defense and you almost kind of have the taste of victory in your mouth and to get it snatched away like that is really embarrassing. That's not the way that I play football. That's not the way the defense plays football, and as a team that's not the way we should be playing football.
cover pressure since team throwing

backs came convinced defensive four front played
That's when I was kind of convinced we had something special. The front four were able to get after the quarterback. The defensive backs played well. The linebackers played well. It kind of came together.
credit goes
It's not about spectacular numbers, it's about being steady. Not enough credit goes out to him.
ability
On paper, we have the ability to be a top-three defense. That's on paper. Now we have to go out and do it.
everybody expect faith gap position
Everybody has faith in everybody else that everybody is going to be in their position and be in their gap and make the play. The linebackers expect us to be somewhere, and we expect the linebackers to be somewhere.
