Some comments from Chargers players:


Freeney:


“Bortles is going to be a force in this league,” Freeney said. “But, they have to get the right weapons around him and get him some better protection.”


Weddle:


“It was tough early on,” Chargers free safety Eric Weddle said. “As a defense you’re waiting for them to get into what they’ve shown on film and they never really got into it. So, it was an adjustment. They made some plays and credit to them, but we overcame the mishaps and really put it to them.”

“He’s got a bright future,” Weddle said. “I’ve got nothing but high regard for him. He was composed and it was hard to get him down sack-wise. So, going against a guy like that you always have that fear of him running around and extending plays as he did late in the fourth quarter. He ran around and found a guy.”


“Their team is going to go as he goes,” Weddle said. “So, my advice to him would be to have a good attitude and don’t let losses determine how you work or your effort and attitude. It seems like he’s on his way to achieving that.”
