exploiting game middle running takes wide
They were exploiting us in the running game. The middle was wide open, so it was tough. But the running game takes all 11 guys.
football great next
I said, 'Look, Thomas, the great thing about football is there's always next Sunday,
front guys people run seven stopping takes talk
People always talk about the front seven stopping the run or not stopping the run. But it takes all 11 guys to stop the run, and all 11 didn't do that.
guy meant speak
Look at a guy like Sam. He didn't speak all the time, but when he spoke, it meant something.
changed momentum ride rode tone
That was so huge. Right there, that changed the tone of the game. Momentum is a monster, and if you get it on your side, you ride it, baby. And we rode it.
appreciate believe build core fact guys happened simple strong troubled
When you go through something like that and you come out of there, you appreciate everything you have at that point, because of the simple fact you had to work. We had to go through some troubled times. But I believe that's when you build character. That's what happened with this team. The core guys who went through that, that's why we're so strong today.
against heart says year
What it says is we have a heart of a champion, man. To do this on the road, against that Rams team. We showed again we will not quit. We're going to fight. We've been doing it all year long, and we will not stop.

When I first took off I said I am going to get him. But then I said I ain't going to catch him. But as I got closer and closer I said I got him. I'm thinking that if I don't catch him we are down 10 points and the way we are playing right now it is over. But thank God I had a little juice left in the tank.
coach defense fox looking plays practice
He had been killing us in practice and that is why coach Fox had to put him up. He had been making plays on our defense and really looking good.

When our backs are against the wall, somehow we always come out swinging and play a great football game. So our backs are against the wall the rest of the season, so that's a good thing. It's a playoff run from here on out and we understand that. We have two big ones coming up.
coming doubt early football guys knew looks people season smiling talented team type
There's no doubt about it. We knew that coming into the year. This is the most talented football team I've been around. I know what a championship team looks like. I told the guys early in the season we can be that type of team. We don't have to play people close. If we play like we're capable, we'll be smiling at the end of every game.
ready short sounds
It was very important. Two-and-two sounds a whole lot better than one-and-three. It was very important for us to get this win. Especially on a short week, so now we can get ready for Arizona.
anybody cap seen
I've never seen anything like that. For anybody to go in and get turnover after turnover and then cap it off with a touchdown, that's unbelievable.
