Coach (Mike Martz) kind of challenged us this week to come out against Detroit and play well and we did that on both sides of the ball.

He brings the power. He's a hard, tough back. He's like Eddie George with more speed and burst. He brings another air of toughness to our side of the ball.

This time it'll probably be even more intense. I'm sure there will be some lip service out there.

We need to knock them in the mouth and get some three-and-outs.

It goes to show the best team doesn't always win. Stats-wise, we showed we were a better team, but they beat us to the punch.

He was telling Marc, 'C'mon, throw it my way,' ... and I told him, 'We're going to throw the football -- you just have to make a play on it.'
