Quoting the Indianapolis Colts | What they were saying after a 35-27 victory over the Houston Texans Sunday (part four) . . .
Indianapolis Colts DE Robert Mathis . . .
*On second-half adjustments Sunday: “A lot of people don’t know that Houston is an offensive powerhouse. They can jump on you real quick as they did and you just have to be calm, be cool and just do what we do. We’re a young team but at the same time we have been through games like this and we have the experience. We just know if you keep your poise everything else will take care of itself.”
*On the Colts' halftime locker room Sunday: “A lot of the plays they got was because of missed tackles. We knew we had to hunker down and make those plays when we had the first chance to make them.”
Indianapolis Colts LB Clint Session . . .
*On his 27-yard interception return for a touchdown: “I was reading the route. We got those routes all week in practice. They got me a couple of times in practice this week and I was just trying not to make the same mistake and we came away with a pick. . . . I saw green and I saw the quarterback closing and I respect my speed a little more than that, so I went ahead and scored a touchdown.”
*On the second-half comeback: “We were getting it handed to us. They’re a good team. We came out fighting, but we honestly weren’t fighting hard enough. It meant a lot to us to be undefeated. We came around as a defense and put it together.”
*On the halftime deficit: “I don’t think we’ve ever been down that bad at the half. It was kind of calm and everyone knew we could get it together. The only way to make it happen is to make it happen. There wasn’t a lot of talk, but we pulled it together and that’s what good teams do.”
*On the comeback: “It’s football. How bad do you want it? They wanted it bad but we wanted it a little more. We had a lot more riding on this. That’s a good team over there, but we’re the Colts and we do things the right way. We try to get every win we can get.”
Indianapolis Colts WR Reggie Wayne . . .
*On Colts Head Coach Jim Caldwell: “Coach Caldwell does a pretty good job taking care of the guys throughout the week. He preaches being fresh. He’s been throwing us a couple of bones here and there and we’ve taken advantage of it. It showed off during the game. We started off a little sluggish. I don’t know if we played at an early kickoff or what, but we picked it up and that was the main thing. Guys see it whenever you do it in a consistent basis and when you do it well it goes on for the rest of the season. Hopefully we can it pick up and learn from the mistakes we made in the first half and make our game like the second half today.”
