It's just total focus, a business trip. I mean, if we lay an egg on Sunday, we have six months to do whatever we want to do. This doesn't happen often; to get in the playoffs is hard. You better cherish it and you better take advantage of it.
It was by far, ... the biggest game of my life and my career.
It was good to have Stephen Davis back in there. He hit some holes well and we were able to punch it in for a score. That was the big thing, a nice drive on the first drive and we get a touchdown.
They came with pressure and we had a slant route, ... I thought that because we had never run it out of this formation that it was a perfect call. I really lost vision of the guy and that's on me.
I tried to get the ball out of my hands quick today.
We're 10-5, and nothing has been clinched yet, but we still control our own destiny. If we had to say, 'We hope this team loses and we win,' that would be hard. But we don't have to worry about that. If we can win on Sunday, then we can worry about who we play and where in the playoffs.
When we came in here a couple of games ago, basically I lost the game for us. It was basically the opposite of today.
When we came here a couple of months ago, I lost that game for us. I threw two picks in the first three series and it was 10-0. When you play from behind, it's different than when you play with the lead.
When we came a couple months ago, basically I lost the game. It was nice to come back and get on top this time. They're a good defense, but we stepped up to the challenge.
Wow! I don't know who he is, but my God. We have racehorses back home ... maybe I can order a muzzle.
We want to run the ball, ... I think that is our blueprint for success. And we do that pretty well.
We still want to control the clock. Hopefully we're a smarter team now.
We did some good things, ... I'm disappointed that we settled for three field goals, but it was great to end the half the way we did. To score seven points was huge after the Browns touchdown.
We answered. That's the biggest thing we did today, was answer every time we really needed to.
