again beat guess joey pittsburgh porter tape tough watch
I'm going to have to go back and watch the tape again after what Joey Porter said because I guess I didn't see it the same way he did. But I don't think you can beat Pittsburgh without being a tough team.
advantage allowed beat denver jump last playoffs start toward
Even last year, when we were 12-4, we didn't get the bye week, and we had to beat Denver in the playoffs before we ever got to New England, ... That was a disadvantage for us, and an advantage for them. This start we've had has allowed us to get a jump toward getting that first-round bye, which is a real goal.

against beat coming cut deal everybody game hopefully houston landmark playing point practice recognize second short team tough week win work
You don't win championships in September, obviously. You don't win them in Week 8. You don't win them with one game. This is going to be a tough deal for us to come back. Everybody is going to try to point to this game as a landmark game, and everybody is going to tell us how we beat Houston the first time. Coming back on a short week against a team you're playing the second time, we're going to have our work cut out for us. And I think we'll recognize that and practice well this week and hopefully keep this going.

I told our guys in the locker room, Pittsburgh beat these guys (Patriots) last year in the regular season and couldn't do it in the playoffs. Week eight doesn't guarantee anything.

We can't rely on the fact that we beat them once before. It's a month and a half later and hopefully it turns out the same way. But we're going to have to play the game.
against beat bit defend emotion emotions hopefully
Hopefully we can defend that a little bit better. But they play well and they play with a lot of emotion when they play against us. We've got to be able to beat them.
beat certainly england sudden win
If we win the game, we certainly don't want to feel like all of a sudden we've arrived, or we beat the New England Patriots so our season's over, ... That will get us in trouble.

When we do what we're supposed to do and execute the play, we've been pretty good on third-and-1 or 2.

With my son's situation and our family, it puts it all into perspective.
