    GARY KUBIAK QUOTES 2015 NFL REGULAR SEASON GAME #10 Chicago Bears vs. Denver Broncos Sunday, November 22, 2015 - Soldier Field - Chicago, IL Opening Statement “We’ll start with injuries- the only guy we got coming out of the game is (Evan) Mathis with an ankle so we’ll see where we are when we get back.” On(Brock)Osweiler playing as well as he could expect for his first start “He did a really good job. We didn’t protect him very good in the first half, I had to take his lumps in a couple situations but kept his composure and would come back and make the next play. He did his job, did a heck of a job and his team played well around him and that’s the most important thing. Very proud of him, he was ready to go.” On his message this week “What we needed to do was go play clean football as a team. We’ve had many turnovers… hurting ourselves and the message this week was let’s protect the football and play. We’ll play great defense. We’re consistent in what we’re doing there. And let’s not hurt ourselves as a team. I think that’s what we ultimately did. We ran the ball well, we moved the ball well, we could have obviously scored some more points in some situations. But I think it got down to playing good defense and protecting the football. That’s a good combination in this league- if you’re able to do those things then you give yourself a chance every week.” On how Osweiler’s skills fit with what Kubiak likes to do with roll- outs and running game “He can do everything.

    NATIONALS THINKING BIGGER THAN ONCE THOUGHT POSSIBLE, C1 EXPANDED COVERAGE, R4: Replacement offi cials lose control Secondary exposed by Rams’ Amendola; Carriker, Orakpo add to injury woes 31 28 G AMEDAY MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2012 ☆☆ washingtontimes.com/sports/football DOWN TO EARTH Big lead, Week 1 momentum go out window with loss BY RICH CAMPBELL THE WASHINGTON TIMES ST. LOUIS |The men who play professional foot- ball will tell you it is the most emotional of sports. That’s a byproduct of its physical nature and the machismo that inevitably accompanies that. This is the NFL, where the players are the biggest and fastest in the world. Fame and fortune only raise the stakes. Players also will tell you the retaliator usually is the one penalized. When emotions boil over on the fi eld, victory can be determined by poise and composure. When your opponent illegally hits you, how do you respond? That was on Joshua Morgan’s mind as he sat at his locker Sunday evening, towel wrapped around his waist, staring at his cellphone. For all the skir- mishes that occurred during and after plays in the Washington Redskins’ 31-28 loss to the St. Louis Rams, and for all the good and bad plays the Red- skins made while staying within reach of victory, one truth mattered more than any other. Morgan was the retaliator. And, of course, he was caught. The Redskins wide receiver was penalized 15 yards for throwing the ball at Rams cornerback Cortland Finnegan with 1:18 remaining in a 3-point game.
