    In this business, guys get hurt and I think everybody else has to elevate their game. The defense has to play better, the quarterbacks are going to have to play better, the linemen are going to have to play better.

    defense is a mind-set. You can't just do your job one time. We've got to win more one-on-ones. The defensive ends are the ones who are hurting us the most. They're letting runners get to the sidelines. The interior people are doing pretty well.
