Our guys faced adversity and stood strong. To me, that means more then a blowout.
They had to hold onto the lead, and stop NE at the end, AND pick up a key first down.
When everything is going right, you tend to "relax". They had to make big plays when they counted.
That is where I see this team different then the 15-1 season. The D had to step up against one of the best QB's in football, and were up to the task.
That will build their confidence for the last quarter of the season and the playoffs. They now know that if they play to their potential, good things will happen.
