That's downright 1971-like.

Wow. Is that the longest punt from Quigley all year?

Trubisky is not very impressive. I know he's a rookie, but still.

We can't give up any more points, or the Jags could become the #1 defense points-wise with a shutout this afternoon.

We need a nice sustained PENALTY-FREE drive for the offense.

Does the PR TD count against the defense?

I know I'm probably wishing for something that's not gonna happen, but I wish we'd open it up here and move the ball. Maybe put together a TD drive. I get the idea of milking the clock, but there's 8 minutes left. Show us something besides two up-the-middle blasts by Murray and a checkdown short of the sticks.
