No, they still kept 8 in the box, that's really the only way their blitzing system works, however their defense just wore down towards the end and the offensive line was beginning to manhandle their guys, additionally Gore had some tremendous running, he was hitting the hole lightning quick, breaking tackles and making the most of every run.
