Brady just got the ball out quick. ... However, we should've met their intensity with more intensity, and that didn't happen.

If it's having Brady throw the ball 40-50 times, that's what they're going to do. You just have to practice for everything and play. We can't look at it like, 'Jenks isn't here now so we have to worry about that side.' We have to just play and let the pieces fall where they may.

Brady is in shape. He's confident in running the ball.

That's what they do — and they are very good at it. Brady knows where he wants to throw the ball and he is very quick, so we just have to try to get there.

When we don't match another team's intensity — that doesn't happen very often — then all of a sudden we do 'J.J.-watching,' where we're watching J.J. play. We might as well get tickets and sit behind the bench. No one is doing anything out there.

We needed that drive because you can't give the ball back to (Patriots quarterback Tom) Brady. You have to keep it away from him because he is able to make so many things happen. That drive of eight minutes was huge for us.
