What worked so well about the running game?

“I thought we had some good inside runs. Against a couple of the nickel fronts, we were able to get some one-back runs going. I thought we had good movement at the point of attack. We were able to run it on third down a few times, and that helped. Those are the things that stood out. I thought our guys up front did a good job of getting hats on hats and handling some of the looks that we got that were a little unique or different.”

How pleasing was it for you to have two 90-plus-yard touchdown drives?

“I felt the first quarter of the game was played on our end and that was somewhat concerning. It seemed like we spent most of it inside our 30, so most importantly it was a chance for us to regain field position and change that. When you can come off the 1 and end up scoring a touchdown, you’re encouraged. We had good balance. We hit some plays in some play-action. We caught them in a couple of blitz looks and fortunately we were able to handle it with the protection. I thought the running backs and the offensive line did a good job with some of the oddball looks that we got defensively. Defensively, we put them on a short field when we went for it on fourth down and they came up big and came up with a stop. I thought that was important. That was an important part of the game because when you do that on fourth-and-one there is some risk involved and I’m aware of that. Our defense came out and did a good job of defending that short field. Those long drives helped, though, because generally when you have those you possess the ball for a while and the number of snaps you play on defense goes down.”
