It was a heavyweight battle and I told the guys (Sunday) in the locker room and at the meeting (Monday), you can’t be embarrassed by anything in the way you played because you played so physical. There were a couple of plays that went against us and a couple of plays that we didn’t make but they played hard.”‘
