count field happy knew men
At first, I thought it was too many men on the field, but I knew that couldn't be because I always count the players. It was crazy, but it's cool. I'm just happy we won.
groin hips injury turning
With this injury and the things I have to do at my position, my groin can't have (problems), because I'm turning and running, turning my hips all the time. I can't really go out there at 50 percent.
capable defense great last matter
Out there, you always have to keep your confidence, no matter what happens. The last play is gone. You've got to think about this play. We know what he's capable of, and we feel like we've got a great defense and a great team, so we know what we're capable of.

It don't matter. It was a momentum changer for the team.

You kind of know your last game in college. In the NFL, you're trying to keep fighting to get to that last game. Sometimes you don't make it to the last game. You're not guaranteed to have that last game with everybody watching. You've just got to play every game as if it's your last.

There's not a real distraction. Like Coach Shanahan tells us -- handle it the day before, and the day of the game, we can just focus on the game. I think we did a good job last week, and I think it'll be the same this week.

Monday is like the worst day of all time. You party all weekend and then reality hits. Gotta go back to work. The only good thing about the whole day is 'Monday Night Football.' If you can't look forward to that, what else is there?
