"I think the feeling was, 'Let's be aggressive.' To get up 14, I was just watching the way our defense was playing and the turnover on our end resulting in a touchdown, outside of that, I thought we did a good job in containing them. There will be a number of things when we watch the tape I'll have to look at and critique and pay attention to, but it was a hard-fought game and we didn't do enough to win it."
"Well, we ended up in a 6-1 front, they ended up playing like a heavy 6-1. There actually was a clock stoppage, so we had a nickel run called, and then, I don't know if there was a timeout or they called one, but it's a slipper naked [play] that we've run pretty well. They played a kind of a 6-1 front with a two-deep shell, so in hindsight, the initial sub run look was a better decision."
The Broncos led 7-0 early but chose to go for it on a 4th-and-1 from the New England 14 instead of attempting a field goal. The Patriots stopped the attempt after rookie safety Craig Woodson broke up the pass, and New England remained scoreless on Denver the rest of the game. The Broncos' head coach accepted responsibility for the outcome, describing the call as an aggressive choice based on momentum and past success. He noted defensive looks (a heavy 6-1 and two-deep shell) meant an initial sub run would have been a better decision in hindsight.
