best defense game good great offense shut sign win
Our offense is disappointed, though. They never like to get shut down like this. But it's great when you win a game and your offense doesn't play it's best or when the defense doesn't play it's best. It's the sign of a good team.
anybody ball best challenge england front mission playing satisfied straight super team tough win won
Our mission is to win a Super Bowl. And we know we've got a very, very tough team in front of us. New England has won about 13 straight and they're playing the best ball of anybody in the league. Going up there is going to be tough. We know what the challenge is, but we're not going to be satisfied just getting to the championship game. We think we've got a team that can win it.

Dwight should be good to go. Dallas Clark is about the same. We'll know once he takes the (neurological) test. If he passes the test, he'll be able to play.

Dwight sat out of practice but we think he's going to be fine and ready to play. He's got a little foot soreness, not really a sprain but just a sore foot. But all indications are he should be ready to go. So we just wanted to rest him today.

Our family has gotten a lot of letters and cards from people who have lost children in a variety of ways. The biggest thing is, it's not as rare as we would think.

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, ...
