I have a question -- who was this O-Line that showed up tonight -- and where have they been all season?

We run when we can and there doesn't seem to be any predictability
on that. We ran against Dallas, Carolina, and now the Eagles but couldn't against a lot of teams. There were literally games where 3/4 of our rushing attempts were tackled 1-2 yards behind the line of scrimmage.

Drew had a completely different second 1/2 than the first. He has always been the key to a victory.

He settled down in the second half and started taking what they would give him instead of trying to force passes like he did in the first half.
