per Marcus:
Thompson, who finished with six tackles, opened the game with a 27-yard interception return that nearly was a pick-six touchdown. The California native's game-clinching interception in the fourth quarter was an exclamation point for a defense that struggled mightily in the first half.
"It's pretty good because for him to come back in the game after he got hit on a peel-back block, laid there on the turf," Kill said. "He got hit right on the shoulder. I didn't know. I waited for the trainer to tell him if he's out or in. He said, 'Hey, he's ready to go', and then he comes back and makes a pick.
"We had opportunities early in the game to get some momentum, too. We jumped offside when we had a (Damien Wilson) pick for a touchdown. There was a fumble we didn't get, and we had been getting those. But you have to make plays in critical times, and we made plays in critical times."
