Howard had 47 plays, five tackles, five assisted tackles, two tackles for losses, a sack, two passes broken up, a recovered fumble, a quarterback hurry, an interception, and one big hit,

He played 23 plays and touched the ball four times, which means he wasn't touching the ball 19 times that he was in there. Blocking isn't his forte. So we've got to figure out a way to work that out.

Our wins and losses are really predicated on how he plays,

We were able to get the first sack of the year on (Manning). That was one of the plays we did well, but we needed more of that.

It was kind of a break-out game for me. I was involved on more plays (tackles), reading the plays and filling the holes. I was also able to time my blitzes a little bit better.

They have five losses but they could just be as easily at the top of the section. They had a bunch of heartbreaks.
