‘”I know from seeing winning teams that you’ve got to be good in those areas,” he said. “We’ve got to get it when it’s on the line. That’s where you win ballgames, keeping guys like Tom Brady and Drew Brees on the sidelines when you’ve got to have that first down.”‘

‘”Sixteen years later, this is what you’ve got,” Reed said. “You’ve got a family.”‘
