I feel I had a big part of it.

It's not even the fact we struggled at home. It's just the way we come in here right now. I think it makes us focus more as a team because they're counting us out. You know what I mean? The whole world is counting us out. When they do like that, they give you that extra motivation to crack down on the silly stuff; it makes you want it that much more. We're playing hard for each other.

I wasn't doing it to take a stand. But, I really ... That's old news. The new news is what can we do with Denver.

217

He's not the run-over type; he just leans forward. It's not like he's just out there to truck nobody . He's not a Jerome (Bettis) or nothing like that. He's one of those guys who has good balance, and if you don't wrap him up, he's going to stay on his feet.

Uh, well, different players do it. Every team just doesn't do it. I get cut-blocked going against running backs all the time.

They play aggressive. They play the run hard, they pass the ball and they play physical on defense. They're a very, very, very good football team. I respect every team I play.

156

We play teams that cut block. It's something you have to deal with. It's part of the game.

131

We've tried that home thing in a championship game before and it didn't work. Maybe this is the way to go.

Ben can play free safety for me any day.
