On Offense, they wanted to run and eat clock as well, to keep him on the sideline.

It almost worked, and we still won by 16, because we are a complete team. Huge punts from Townsend, big plays when we needed them on offense, and ball-hawk secondary combined with timely sacks on throwing downs from the defense.

It can't all be on the offense every game.

We'll take these learnings and apply them to future games.

We won by 16 because Pats backup QBs suck. Otherwise who knows who wins that game.
