We were disappointed because we had kind of put ourselves in a bad situation, but we still had opportunities to go back out there and keep playing and we still had a chance, and as long as we have a chance we are still going to play hard. Everybody knows what is on the line. We did not have to do a whole lot of talking about it. Everybody knows the situation and that we put ourselves in a pretty good bind and we are trying to work our way out of it.

I guess we had them covered in the back end, because he was running around with the ball, holding it a lot, and it allowed our guys more time to get him. We did a good job in the back end covering. ... We mixed it up a lot. We didn't want to just stay doing one thing. We wanted to try to blitz a little bit, cover a little bit and just keep them off their pace.

Once that first drive was over, everybody went to the sideline and just calmed down a little bit. I was cussing at myself. But everyone got their focus back, and we just came out and executed a lot better.
