How you made no bones about it this week that you're playing because you wanted to help lead and kind of set the tone and clearly did that with a couple of picks?

Yeah man, people had questions, like said some stuff like, 'Oh, you should sit out,' or whatever. I play this game for three reasons. I play this game to glorify God, I play this game for my family and then I play this game for the people this room right here. If I'm healthy and I'm ready to go, I'm a go. Because like I said, these guys are busting their behinds out here every single week. Some of these guys aren't a hundred either, but they go out there and fight. I'm going to do the same exact thing, and that's my job as a leader.

Just about Joshua Dobbs, just the boost he gave this offense tonight and what did it do for the defense?

Yeah, man, I think he did a really good job of just – Coach (Vrabel) always talks about the operation. I think Todd (Downing) did some good things kind of moving him outside the pocket doors and doing some things like that. He had some really good throws, obviously he's only been here for a week or two. But I definitely, you know, as long as he continues to progress, am sure we will see him next week.

Last Saturday night, it was said this team owed the fans. How important was it to you and this team to give (the effort) to them tonight?

Yeah, I mean, like I said, it's still disappointing we didn't get the win. We went into this game to get the win, trying to win this game. You obviously saw with the effort that we played with, so we're disappointed. But I can guarantee you this, I'm going to make sure that everybody, and we're going to have a couple of days off, but (has) the mind mentally, physically, get prepared to go win a playoff game. That's pretty much what it is, a playoff game. You win, you keep playing. You lose, we all go home.
