Quote: “A lot of times, from a fan’s perspective, especially with fantasy football, they look at just a team’s record and sometimes, a record may not indicate what’s really going on. They had a few veteran players [on defense] ... and the rest were either two years [in the NFL] or rookies. They had a lot of great, young talent, but as you know when you have great, young talent, it takes a little bit [of time] sometimes.


“They were a tough bunch. Even though their record may not indicate they [aren’t] very good, they had a lot of will and fight. They just wouldn’t go away. They wouldn’t quit. We understood that and we watched a lot of film on them and we knew they would be tough. Some people would say we had an ugly win, but at the end of the day, those guys have families and have pride and honor amongst their teammates and their organization.
