It was a complete 180 from where they'd been in previous weeks.
They played physical, aggressive football and it was obvious in the 1st quarter that they were simply more engaged. That play ended up being incomplete because that much contact completely screwed up the timing on the routes.

Just speculating, but I think something was said behind closed doors. Sutton actually appeared to be agitated a couple of times and the players were playing with a passion they haven't shown this year.
