Jay Gruden, postgame: ‘The players were up to the challenge’

On what happened at halftime:
“We decided to challenge them a little bit. The players were up to the challenge and they came out and played. This isn’t about anything I said before the game or ‘Code Red’ or halftime adjustments or anything like that. It’s about 46 men coming out of the break and stepping up and making some plays.”

On the offense speeding up in the second half:
“This was a players’ game. The players came out and made some plays. First-half play calls weren’t that much different than the second.
