You can't give the other team an opportunity when we have them 21-3 to come back and make it almost a 21-17 game, ... Our defense played championship football. Our offense played winning football. We didn't play championship football.

We talked about it all week, how this could be the game that we throw it 50 times, and I think we almost did.

He is very powerful, ... You can't really tackle him with one guy. You see him break tackles all the time, like he did on the last touchdown. Obviously his ability to catch the football is special.

You enter the game and see what kind of game plan they have for you defensively. If they bring a bunch of guys down in the box that you figure are going to pressure a lot, there are big holes in the defense to take advantage. I felt like we were able to do that today.

Winning football, but not championship football.

It's about time something good like this happened.

It's my job to get us in good plays, or more importantly, out of bad plays, ... That's what I did.

Obviously if Gates turns out missing the first game because of this, that's disappointing for everyone in this locker room because he is big part of our team and we don't want to see that happen.

The guy on the other side is not too shabby.
