Hurts addressed the media about it at the conclusion of the press conference.

"I will say this too: I didn’t get any questions about the Cardinals for real this game. I don’t want y’all thinking this is  … this is a really good team we’re about to play. They have a really good defense, disruptive up front. They have speed on the back end.

"So, let’s not set the precedent for that. This is a good football team."

"Really proud of the fight we've shown. I think that can pay dividends down the road, but we've got a lot of things we've got to tighten up on offense."
