enter football last looking opportunity people playoffs pressure season single team trying week win
I think pressure is everything. When people get in the playoffs, there's pressure to win. It's win or go home. I don't feel any more this week than I did last week or the week before. It's one and done if you don't play well. We're looking at this week no different than last week. We're just trying to win a football game. If we do, we have an opportunity to go on, and if not, our season is done. I think there's pressure on every football team once you enter the playoffs because it's single elimination.

We remind them where they were seven weeks ago. That's the thing in my mind. Seven weeks ago, we found out the people who like you because it was unconditional. We're involved now and it's seven weeks later and it's all conditional. They love you because you just won seven straight games.
