allowed deeper eight four gone last pocket points step three throws tried wider
We tried to make the pocket deeper and wider and that allowed Jake to step up and make some throws he wasn't able to make the last time. When you've gone from three points to 29, and from eight sacks to one and from four turnovers to one, you've done your job.
chicago couple good knew team
We knew Chicago was a good team going in there. We didn't know it was as good as it is on defense. We made a couple of errors, and they got ahead. That's the way they like to play.

Jake's a day trader. He's not into mutual funds. He's not looking to see if he can find an interest-bearing account or dividend stocks. He wants to hit the high-flyers.
