What do you make of Sam Hubbard’s 98-yard touchdown run that gave you the go-ahead score?
“That’s why you never give up on a drive, even when it’s down there inside the two-yard line. It’s what our defense — the whole red zone, the last couple years, it’s been awesome from our defense and today is no different. For Logan (Wilson) to knock that ball out and Sam to finish (the play) off 98 yards later, it really changed the momentum of the game because you’re looking at a 14-point swing right there, going down seven (points) and then being up seven.
