Right now, I was very pleased at our defense. We?re just playing very good defense the last few weeks. The intensity level has been a lot better.

The defense did a great job. They got us the ball back and we had great field position there and didn't capitalize.

His game isn't necessarily to strike guys out. It's to keep the ball down and have our defense make plays, and we made some pretty nice plays.

That's all there was to it, throwing strikes and letting the defense do the job. The ball wasn't carrying that well today (the wind was blowing in), and we have a lot of confidence in our defense.

Actually, I thought the offense, looking at the tape, played better than the defense,

I wish we could have played all four quarters like that. We've been relying on our defense to get us going by creating turnovers. We didn't do a good job of that to start with, but in the last part of the third quarter and the fourth we really clamped down and were able to take control of the game.
