Q. Logan, can you walk me through the long touchdown reception you had? What did you see there?

LOGAN DIGGS: As soon as I got out in my release and I saw the end spike, I knew it was good. I have trust in Tyler he's going to put it where it needs to be and at that point I have to trust myself and trust my speed to capitalize, and I did, and it's a blessing.

Q. Did you feel the running game was sort of taking over late in the game and felt the confidence that you guys had being able to move the ball that way?

LOGAN DIGGS: Yes, sir. We always know. Third and fourth quarter that's our quarter so we're patient. First half, okay, but once it gets down to when your back is against the wall, that's the kind of games we want. I go to the O-line and look at them and they've got the same look in their eye that I have, so we know what time it is.

Q. What did you see from Tyler today and the way he played and made some plays but also bounced back from the interceptions?

LOGAN DIGGS: Tyler was really positive today. He was really confident. I went to Tyler after both picks and he looked at me like don't talk to me, like I'm good.

I mean, I love Tyler and I feel like he went out there today and showed that he is TB 12.

Q. Midway through the third, late third and into the fourth, did you guys kind of feel in the running game that the dam was breaking and you guys were going to be able to really assert control?

LOGAN DIGGS: Yes, sir. When we were in that huddle and you see the O-line and they're fixing their gloves and tightening their hands and they're fierce, you just know. I have the utmost trust in them and Coach Harry and their preparation, all I do is adjust my reads and trust my coaches and go out there and execute and they put us in great position to continue to run the ball.
