We're not concerned about the playoffs. Right now our concern is playing well Saturday. That's all that matters.

We have a chance to win 10, but you can't do that until you win No. 9. For us, it's all about Saturday.

Make Denver make the decision here. In other words, put pressure on Mike Shanahan. What's he gonna do?

That's what the Patriots are hoping for.

Carlos Zambrano

Luck is something you always need to have. We have more chance than the Cardinals. They don't have some of the players they had last year, like Matt Morris. We have to start winning the first month, as many games as possible. We have a good team. We have everything.
