I think this can be a championship team. But we do have to take it one game at a time. You can't look at the end of the road before you get the next foot in.

Last year we were a team, but I think maybe we were a little unsure, ... We had a new quarterback, a new coach, we had a lot of different things we needed to have answered. This year, I just don't have that feeling. Even though Eli is young, I don't have the same feeling as a team that we're unsure about ourselves.

Compared to the other teams, it definitely seems like a younger team to me. But I think that everybody here has the same motivation, the same desire to go out there and win these games and put us in the Super Bowl. That is everybody's goal. There is no doubt in anybody's mind that we can do that as long as we play the way we are capable of playing.

It felt like we were in a heavyweight championship fight, too. It was just a punch to the face. There are other ways to block people. He said it was an accident and I'll take him at his word. But it's the kind of injury that ends careers.

The fact that we're going to the playoffs means absolutely nothing, to be honest. I don't think anybody is going to be satisfied losing this game, first of all, and secondly, we lose the division if that's the case.
