Guys in this locker room are used to playing Pittsburgh, so it's not like there's anything mysterious out there. We know who they are and what they're about.

In one part of locker room, the guys have a plasma TV, so the guys in the ghetto always say, 'We're going to come get that,'

It's not that odd for me, but it's a little different because you can't do the locker-room thing.

I'm not the only one hurting in (the locker room) when I talk to the team. Those guys are very, very disappointed. They realized what was at stake today in regard to the division, we had a chance to get evened up in the division with our NFC record, and the Reggie White scenario was huge for us. There was plenty of motivation.

I was kidding around with the guys in the locker room, I said, 'You guys are proven champions, and I haven't proven anything so the pressure's on me, not on you. 'If we don't win it's my fault, it's not going to be yours.

In the locker room, he's been very vocal, getting the guys going. He feels very loose in that locker room, at home. He really likes playing in Boston.
