But thankfully, he's fine.
I'm appreciative of our medical staff and how quickly they acted in making sure that he was safe and taking care of him post-game.
Mike, you opened by talking about some of the explosive plays you were able to create in the passing game.
What do you need to do from either a game planning or execution standpoint to replicate some of that going forward?
Both.
It's a mentality thing, particularly as the road gets narrow, but also the schematics are a component of it.
We knew we would have opportunities.
We've just been in those circumstances with Baltimore so many times over the years, and I'm in the process of getting familiar with Miami and what that might look like this week.
Just veteran guys, been there, done that guys.
As I mentioned, as the road gets narrow in December, it's good to have those guys in the fold.
Guys that have experience and rising up in those moments and certainly statistics might not bear it out.
But I thought they were an asset to us and it's reasonable to expect that to improve and increase as we continue.
Mike, your record as a head coach the week after losing by 15-plus, Michael has this in the notes, everything is really good.
Why do you think, in your 2-0 this year, why do you think you guys have
consistently been able to respond after a really rough patch?
I just think that's what this business is about.
It's week to week.
They're going to be good weeks and you can't wear your hand out patting yourself on the back when you have those good weeks and you certainly can't hate yourself when you have those negative weeks.
And as a leader, I think it's important that I show that steady presence to provide that compass, if you will, for the collective.
I just think I understand my role as a leader to be what my guys need me to be and certainly when you're coming off a negative performance they need stability and belief.
