TJ Yates prepares for biggest game of his young career

Posted Jan 7, 2012
Rookie T.J. Yates is starting the biggest game of his brief career Saturday against Cincinnati. He’s under a lot of pressure not to make mistakes that cost them the game. He’s trying to keep things in perspective. “I’ve tried to keep everything the same just like a normal week just so you don’t get out of whack at all and start thinking about outside stuff,” Yates said.
