“Well, when our quarterback’s coming off and I can see the disdain on his face and I looked up at the clock and saw how much time was left — it wasn’t by any means a chip shot, though Lucas has come in and done a hell of a job. So it was just one of those deals where I was like, ‘No matter what we call, this guy’s gonna make it work.’
That’s exactly what happened because we had a play called for one versus man and can it versus zone. Didn’t necessarily get the play that we wanted, but it doesn’t matter. Sometimes, when you have guys that have confidence in what they’re doing, and Tuck did a hell of a job winning on the route. Our o-line protected, and Jordan gave him a chance. That’s exactly what it took.”
