It probably seemed a bit of a luxury. But there's a lot to be said for having veteran guys who have lined up and won games in the National Football League, who have won playoff games.

It's kind of good to get back to football. I think that is what we are all kind of looking forward to now. The fun and games are over with now, and it's getting ourselves ready to play the game.

The biggest thing is not to overreact and to keep responding. Our guys just kept responding. You can't get caught up in the emotion and the finality that these games can bring. The fact this team's been there before, I think, they really understand that mindset.

We just tried to limit Ben's access this week. You'll all have plenty of chances to talk to him.

We were put in that situation when we lost those three games. We have to come back and win at home against Detroit and go on the road wherever we need to go.
