He's the best running back in the league. But every week we've had to face great backs. Every week we've been tested and this will probably be the biggest test for us. He's really elusive and can hit the home run. That's how it is with him. When he touches the ball, he can take it the distance.

Those are the ones you can't give up. You saw what happened in the second half. We contained him. We had a great second half. It's something we can build on.

Forget our record. We feel like we can play with anybody. We can say we got our first win behind us. Now let's just play football and let's win the division and go on from there. That's our goal right now.

You know he is their go-to guy. The ball is going to get to No. 81 some time or another. We know we have to limit the big plays. You can't just shut out a great receiver, but you have to limit the big play. He touched the ball five times last week and had two touchdowns. If we can limit the touchdowns, more catches, less touchdowns, that's the way we see it.

In the first half they got a couple of drives on us. But once we settled down and started playing our game, we were all right. ... We were smarter in the second half. We stopped some of those deep runs and it's something to build on.

I'll do whatever. If they want me to play every single special team, play defense, even if they need me to play some offense. It sounds funny, but I'm gonna do whatever it takes for this team to win and make the next step.

He's so patient. He's willing to take a loss to find a way to get the ball up the field. That's the kind of runner he is, and he just found a couple of spots on us.

I felt that I had him, he was going down and as he was going down the ball slipped out. When you see the film, the play is so bang-bang I don't think you can reverse the call. It has to be conclusive. We hit him, the ball came out, so ... it seems we can't get a break sometimes.

I'll try to see how they come out and play the game, the tempo of the game. Usually you're watching for how the league is, but tonight I'll have a really good eye on it because we're playing them the following week.
