"He's doing a great job," Reid noted of his young quarterback. "I know people wrote about the interceptions yesterday. I told you all from the beginning that I don't care about that stuff. I want him to test the offense. It's so important. We give him a ton of plays and I want him testing it.

"If you don't have the intestinal fortitude to go test it then you're going to be one of those quarterbacks that checks it down every time and that's not what it's all about. The great thing about Pat is that he never makes the same mistake twice. It doesn't happen. He sees everything. He knows it. When he makes a mistake, he comes back and can talk to you about it. He's done nothing but get better and better as we go. He's had a load on him here and is responding exactly how we'd like."
