COACH CARTER COLLINS'S COMMENTS
I was dead wrong about how this game would unfold - I expected a high-scoring shootout, and instead we got a low-scoring dog fight. I'm proud of the job that my guys did on the defensive end throughout the game. If you want to be a great team, you need to be able to win games in multiple different ways, and I thought we did a good job of being flexible.
