I thought they were going to challenge (the secondary) and throw the ball downfield. We were surprised when they kept going at us with the run.

I took the challenge against Mike James. I love the challenge. But I knew he was shooting the ball well, playing well. All I did was try and put pressure on them, and I know pressure better than anybody. Pressure doesn't bother me. What I tried to do was get them to turn the ball over, make them play my game.

They're going to be a tough challenge.

We are competing against ourselves. There's 28 million people who have Brooks & Dunn CDs ... The challenge is to come up with Brooks & Dunn music that's not something they've got already. That's what we are really up against.

In the past, I don't think it would have affected us that way. We expected to win. We weren't going in there just expecting to compete. I think that really showed how the mentality has changed here.

It's not an upset. We knew we were going to do this all along. You can ask anyone in this locker room.
