Once that first drive was over, everybody went to the sideline and just calmed down a little bit. I was cussing at myself. But everyone got their focus back, and we just came out and executed a lot better.

Just remember the reason that we came here. It is still about the game.
check definitely disguise dummy fake looks study understand
It's not all real. You have to understand when he's doing dummy calls. We can tell from the film study when he's doing his fake calls. We know how to read that pretty much. But when he's on his calls, we definitely need to disguise what we're doing and show him some different looks and (make him) check to something they don't want to run.

Oh, we know who he is. We definitely pay attention to the highlights. We all watch it on TV.

We've really come together and done some amazing things. We knew there couldn't be any more mistakes. We had to get focused and take each challenge one at a time. Each week it gets better, and this game will be even harder and we'll have to play much better. This is the big show now.
bit disguise easy key
We don't want to show everything right when we get up (to the line). We want to disguise a little bit and not let Peyton have an easy read. That's going to be the key to the whole game, how well we disguise.
chip extra motivation nobody shoulder
This is the AFC championship -- you don't need a chip on your shoulder for this game. Nobody is going to need any extra motivation or anything like that to get up for this one.
bit last spotlight
The spotlight is not on us like it was last year. We can go a little bit under the radar.
move opportunity
If we do have an opportunity to go into the playoffs, we're going to move that way.
