Jacksonville’s Mitch Morse spoke to the media after the game about closing the game strong and why a hard fought win means more.

What was the key to closing the game so strong? 10-0 run there to win the game.

Mitch: I think we just executed when we needed to. And I thought Mac (Jones) led a fiery huddle, you know, in a good way. Very constructive but very commanding, which we appreciate. And we just finally converted a few things, and we'll have to continue to do that.

What does it mean to score the way you guys have in the fourth quarter the last couple of weeks, to keep building and finish at that time of the game?

Mitch: I think it gave us an opportunity to win the football game this week. And like I said before, our defense just did a fantastic job of keeping us in it. For us, it'll be trying to find a way to start faster. It's not a one-man thing. There’s a bunch of people. Everyone's got their moments, I know I've had my moments a few times, and we'll just see what we can do and try to compound a few wins.

When the season's gone the way it has and you gut out a win like this, it’s got to be one of the grittier wins they've had here, does that make it more satisfying?

Mitch: I mean, it would've been nicer to win by 30, but that's a rarity in this league, and especially against a good team like the Titans. Yeah, I think there's definitely a good feeling to win and especially the way we did it.
