I'm so sick of people talking about their defense. I am so sick of it. Their defense played well. But we came here six weeks ago and beat them, and we knew we could beat them again.

I can't imagine [playing games just four days apart]. Especially with the caliber of teams you're going to have in a situation like that. I don't know if your body can respond that fast. That's asking an awful lot. This is not high school. This is not college football. You're dealing with guys who do this for a living. That's asking a bit much.

We don't score 30 points a game. We don't have a receiver who can go and get you 180 yards. We don't have a quarterback who's going to throw for 350. But I'll tell you what we do have: A team that's going to the AFC Championship Game. All them big-time offenses, you know where they're at? Home watching us.
