Detroit Lions: Jim Caldwell, Players Talk About Win Over Eagles
By Zac Snyder
THEO RIDDICK
On the offense’s success moving the ball early in the game: “Obviously, having positive yards in the first-down area, that’s something we kind of didn’t do in the second half, so that’s why it slowed everything down.”
On having a balanced offensive attack against the Eagles: “For sure, when you can run the ball, you kind of put the defense on its heels and as you can see, that’s what we were doing.”
On if halftime slowed the offense down: “That’s a great defense and they made some adjustments. Again, we just have to get positive yards on first down and we’ll be OK.”
On if the offense was able to make adjustments for this week’s game: “Yeah, we did and most certainly is we took care of the ball. That’s obviously a huge, huge emphasis.”
On the team going into the game with only two running backs: “We always have a lot of confidence from player to player and everyone is always looking to step up.”
