It was huge. We felt like we were going to get points. Even if it is ruled incomplete, we come back and we got 3rd-and-10 around the 30-yard line with three timeouts left. You've got a chance to make a couple of plays and at least get points. Yes, that was a momentum thing. |
It would definitely tend to steer you in another direction. There's always some potential for [giving up a first-round pick], but I think you'd have to be concerned about doing it. |
It's all about this week. Prior to this one, we'd just won one ballgame [this season]. We played well at times against the Rams, but what we have to do is just put this behind us and move forward and focus on this week's opponent. |

It's not where we want it to be right now. We're going to take some of the blame for that over the last couple weeks. But I also have to give some credit to the Pittsburgh and Baltimore defenses. We played two pretty tough defenses here in the first two weeks. |
It's really neat that you've got two teams that are healthy and going strong. I think it's going to be a hell of a game. I really do. |
Jevon dictates protection schemes. When he wasn't in there, we didn't have that rare speed coming off the edge. |
Lastly, the holiday season is a season for family, so I guess it makes sense that we will kickoff the holidays with the Manning family visiting Nashville in consecutive weeks. |
