Q. Just through the game, the way you were working with the players that were out, how did you feel in the defense? And especially in the second half, what were some of the things working for you all there?

ERIC MURRAY: I felt really good with the people who have been out there. Like I said, we practice all the time with each other. They may not been in the game. And this may have been the first shot. But the communication was still there. And, like I said, Lovie does a good job of simplifying the defense so we can all play fast.

Q. Trevor Lawrence, they've talked about him as a generational talent, picked first of all for a reason. But your thoughts on how you did against him and containing him and their passing game?

ERIC MURRAY: I think we did a good job of keeping him in the pocket. I know sometimes once the pocket breaks down, that's kind of where he makes some of his hay. But he's a good player, man. He just needs experience, and he's going to get that. But he's still a good player.

Q. How big was that tackle for a loss by Garret Wallow and the sack from Derek Rivers, those kind of moments there? What did you see from those guys who tried to find that time on the field?

ERIC MURRAY: Man, those guys always play hard. They're like hard hat and lunch pail type dudes. So to see them do that, that's what I expect from them because I see it every day, and they bring it every day at practice.
