So I got focused and kept grinding. . . . I knew I could play this game.

Better now than the AFC championship or the playoffs.

Whatever happens, happens, ... Whatever I can do to help this team out and win is what I am all for.

Everybody's going to be back, so it's going to be a plus for our offense. You've got to get into a rhythm, but we can do it.

We all have faith in Duce to step in and get the job done. The running game will be ready, just as it always is, and we'll be ready to run even more without Ben in there.

It's rewarding because you get to do things all over again.

It's been kind of fun. I'm just trying to keep everything in perspective.

We came in with a game plan and we were able to execute it, ... We thought the run game would open up play action. The offense played really well today. We were able to do pretty much what we wanted offensively.

I think that will be on a lot of people's minds this week.
