Everybody is chasing us, everybody wants to play good against us. No doubt about it. We have to take the same approach as we have in the past.

You get to the playoffs you got to win 11 games. In the regular season, you win 99 and go to the wire and almost lose. The way we played all year long it was like a playoff game every day. ...
