Houston - 13, Seattle - 33
BOBBY WAGNER: What y'all got for me?
Q. What changed for you guys in the second half?
BOBBY WAGNER: I feel like we executed a lot better. I think that first drive they were able to move the ball down the field. We didn't execute as well as we should have.
But, you know, after we kind of calmed down and, you know, started to lock in, we were able to stop them from scoring.
Q. Pete said that you guys are really taking pride in the run defense. Another game with two and a half yards per carry for the opponent, seven tackles for a loss. What are you seeing from the entire unit that has allowed week in and week out to shut down some of the offenses?
BOBBY WAGNER: I think we're just coming downhill. We're being aggressive. You have guys like Big Al upfront that caused a lot of havoc upfront and helps me, us as linebackers come downhill and play faster.
And so, everything works together. But, you know, we understand that each week we got to make a team one dimensional. And, you know, it starts with the run game.
Q. You mentioned Al. How big has he been for you guys this year?
BOBBY WAGNER: He's been huge, man. Like I said, he's been a guy that loves to keep guys off of linebackers and linebackers love to hear that.
But he also can make plays. You know, there's a play down the -- where he throws the linemen and goes and makes the tackle. I think he might have missed it.
But that kind of havoc is, you know, something that teams have to pay attention to and it takes the eyes off of you and allows us to make plays.
Q. (Question concerning Davis Mills.)
BOBBY WAGNER: He was making some good reads. He was out there -- you know, they got the ball out of his hands fast. He made some good reads.
You know, he definitely was getting confidence as he, you know, connected on some of his throws. It was a nice throw down the end in the corner. But, you know, he's definitely growing and, you know, made some nice throws.
Q. What type of adjustments did he have to make? Because he got on a streak there early.
BOBBY WAGNER: I think it was more execution on our part. You know, we weren't executing the way that we needed to. And so, once we did that, we started to slow it down a little bit.
Q. Did you see what happened to Gavin?
BOBBY WAGNER: I didn't see it. I didn't see the play. I just heard the crowd's reaction. And any time the crowd reacts like that, it's typically not good. We're praying for him and hoping that, you know, it's not as bad as it sounded.
Q. What have these last two weeks meant for you guys?
BOBBY WAGNER: I think it's just good momentum. I think, you know, we were able to kind of build off of what we did last week.
And I think we just got to, you know, keep our heads down and keep playing. We can't look up and see who we have next or anything like that. And you just got to keep getting better each week and see what happens.
