On next Monday’s matchup with New England…
Our whole mindset is, it’s not about our opponent, it’s about us. We know that New England is a tough opponent, but at the end of the day, it’s still about us, it’s still about what we do and how we do things. We know we can beat them, but it’s not going to be easy. Especially at their place, they are notoriously tough up there. We just have to keep addressing the self-inflicting type of stuff, but we have a lot of confidence in the guys in this locker room and the coaching staff. We’re going to take these three days off and get prepared for probably the game of the year.
On running the victory formation at the end of the game…
It was one of those things we had to dust off. It’s good to finish with our offense on the field. It took us a little while, but we didn’t want our defense back on the field, period. All we care about is leading the league in wins. We got another one in the books and everyone knows the big one is coming up.
On the expected hype for the matchup with New England…
Ridiculous. I can’t even put it into words. Look at all the media in here now; I can only imagine what it’s going to be like once we come back. You have two teams that are 9-2. That type of game deserves a lot of hype. You’ve got first place in the division riding on this game. We’re going to enjoy our three days off, but we know what’s at stake here.
