"These guys are a good football team," Flacco insisted. "They have a physical defense, and they've always had that since I've been here. We've played a lot of games that I feel like have been decided late."
"It's a big challenge for our guys. They're really going to need to step up," Chudzinski said. "We'll do some things from a schematic standpoint to try to help and have a plan. We have to execute the plan."
