On why Brook's last FG came w/ 9:50 left: "There was a lot of times where he just wasn't open. They had a guy in front and in back of him, and other guys have to make plays in that situation, whether it's flash a high-low, or play on the weakside, we have to be able to just do it without thinking." |
