Trevor Siemian performed pretty well in his first start. What was your take on his performance?

Considering the circumstances, I thought Siemian played very well. I’ve been a very proud and vocal fan of Siemian since we drafted him, so obviously I had a lot of confidence in his ability to become a starting QB in the NFL.

The one thing that really stood out to me with his play last week was how composed he was throughout the entire game. Despite having three turnovers in field goal range (two of those three in the red zone) and being down by ten points, Siemian never wilted under the pressure.

He played through the mistakes and when it mattered most, he led scoring drives that ended up giving us the victory over Carolina. I’m excited to see how he grows throughout the season.
