It's amazing how much you benefit from fresh legs. We were getting worked in that first quarter, the offense went three & out on that first drive and it put the defense on the field an awful lot there in the first quarter. I was concerned they'd be gassed and the floodgates would open.

The fact that you can bring a fresh Kerrigan and Ioannidis off the bench when your defense is a little gassed, it means the world. The entire line was fresh enough to pin the ears back in the 4th quarter, and it's because the depth was there to just keep rotating.
