enter football last looking opportunity people playoffs pressure season single team trying week win
I think pressure is everything. When people get in the playoffs, there's pressure to win. It's win or go home. I don't feel any more this week than I did last week or the week before. It's one and done if you don't play well. We're looking at this week no different than last week. We're just trying to win a football game. If we do, we have an opportunity to go on, and if not, our season is done. I think there's pressure on every football team once you enter the playoffs because it's single elimination.

caught deviate fact focus football game home looking mentally mind needs playoff prepare start team
I think it's very important you don't get caught up in all the 'what if' scenarios. I think our football team needs to prepare mentally to play this football game like it's a home playoff game. The fact is if we don't win, we may not go anywhere. If you get caught up, deviate from that focus and start looking at other scenarios, you start cluttering your mind with things that are very, very dangerous.

He's going to go through a lot of theatrics. But you don't want to tip your hand too soon. We'll all be looking at the play clock. ... So when he starts doing all of that stuff with 19 or 20 seconds to go, you've just got to be patient.
