Chiefs - 22, Giants - 9
ANDY REID: Okay, really don't have any injuries. Bryan Cook was okay at the end. (Inaudible).
Good win to get, particularly when you haven't had one. That was important to take a step forward. The second quarter was hard to watch there. The third and fourth quarter, I thought our guys really came together and played well.
I thought defensively we did some really good things with the turnovers and with the interceptions and turnovers. I thought Bolton, with the 14 tackles, did a heck of a job. And our third downs were incredible. Great pressure up front and it starts there.
And likewise on the offensive side, Pat had some really good things he did out there and the offensive line, I thought -- probably the most happy for Pacheco coming home and putting up a 4.5 per carry. (Inaudible) shot out there. And Kareem did some good things there too. Thornton, great to get him involved in the game plan.
But, again, it all starts up front. The defensive line, Brian has done a nice job in the personnel department, given these defensive line. That's as good a defensive line as there is in this league. And offensively he's got some good things going.
He's got Wilson there, which is a plus, and then you've got a young quarterback behind him which is also a plus.
The sky's the limit. I think we've got good receivers. We looked at the tape. We looked at them playing Washington and barely squeaking -- Washington barely squeaking out the win (inaudible) Dallas. They really got after it in the Dallas game and played well.
Again, this game is -- the margin between winning and losing is so small. I know New York people are so passionate. Give Bryan an opportunity, he's got a great personality for this sport and for (inaudible).
Q. What stands out most about the Tyquan catch there (inaudible) late in the game?
ANDY REID: Both of them. He had one back-to-back, and he does a nice job making the second one go there. And he's showing some things. He's a guy that I know Ju-Ju spoke highly of him. He (inaudible) the Patriots and (inaudible) Bill Belichick and compliments. And he's come here and done nothing but work hard. It's nice to see him get an opportunity.
Q. Did Patrick, was it the call of the play that had you go right back to him on the second play, or was that Patrick's read all the way?
ANDY REID: Yeah, it was Patrick.
Q. But it wasn't by your design?
ANDY REID: (Inaudible) tag team those things. Get (inaudible) in front of him.
Q. In the second half, looked like some juice and execution that maybe you didn't have. What went into that?
ANDY REID: (Inaudible) better together. We had too many mistakes. One thing here, one thing there. Some of that can be that you're just trying too hard at times and dumb things can happen. So you've got to really stay on top of that.
And everything's about execution on the opposite side but you have everybody doing it. I have to make sure I get them in the right position to be able to do those things. Team effort, but everybody has to come together on that, and I thought they did a better job.
Q. Late in the first half when Patrick recovered that lateral and ripped the ball out of (inaudible) hands, when a quarterback makes a play like that what impact does it have on the rest of the team?
ANDY REID: That was big. That's how he rolls. He's 100 miles an hour. You've seen it in the last couple of weeks what he's done, when he's carried the ball. He started to get (inaudible) carried the ball.
These kind of things he does it seems like every week he does something like that. The guys know that he's all in. It's not like he's just throwing the ball back. He's going to do whatever it takes to come out on top of the game.
Q. What message were you trying to get across to Travis there in the first half?
ANDY REID: I love Travis' passion. I'm okay with it. We didn't have enough of it in the second quarter. We weren't where we needed to be, (inaudible), he knows. Back off the pedal and push it too. That's part of (inaudible) guys all in. Just sometimes (inaudible).
Q. Is there a certain play that was bothering you or was it more trying to get something out of him?
ANDY REID: No, he was all in. Listen, he's an emotional guy; he's Irish.
Q. Related to that, looked like -- it felt like maybe you were telling him -- I hate to put it this strongly -- to back off a little bit. Do you think within reason --
ANDY REID: Don't make -- he's a passionate guy. I'm okay with it. I've been through a lot of things with him. So that's all part of the game. I love that he loves to play the game. That's what I love. But it's an emotional game. That's it, I'll tell you.
Q. The second quarter, just not working right, was halftime a welcome thing at that point? Was it hard to dig out while it was going on?
ANDY REID: We had the big PI towards the end there. That was a good thing, so end on a positive note. But at the same time, we needed to tighten things up as far as making mistakes, getting the guys in the right position, and making sure we were doing the right things, giving them the plays; likewise, they'll execute.
Q. What did you think of just the secondary tonight, specifically the way they defended?
ANDY REID: Those interceptions, turnovers were a beautiful thing. And then they've got good receivers. Number 1, Malik, is as good as there is in this league. For us to be able to put the clamps on them a little bit, that's not an easy chore. He's a heck of a football player.
