‘“It was part of the plan from the beginning, part of the routine,” McDermott said. “If you go back and think red zone two days ago, a day in between, then another red zone day. We wanted to make sure Nate (Peterman) and A.J. (McCarron) had time in the red zone (with the 1s). Nate was first (on Tuesday), and if we had stayed with the rotation, it would have been Nate again (Thursday).”’
