ball middle moving offense
I can't say enough about how our offense has been playing. In the middle of the season, we were moving the ball but we weren't scoring. That's all changed, now.
late stop team trying
They just take what you give them, ... If we're trying to be the No. 1 defense, we've got to stop a team like that. We had to come up with a stop late and we didn't.
acts class easily entire field guys hammer makeup maniacs smiles sunday
He's a different guy, but if you look at our team, we have a lot of guys who are class acts off the field but who are maniacs on the field. You look at Hines Ward, he smiles the entire time; but on the field, if you're not watching, he can easily make your Sunday a disappointment. Jerome Bettis is a yes-sir, no-sir guy, but on the field he can hammer you, too. That's just the makeup of our team.

biggest early easily lose mind opportunity stands time undefeated
Any time you lose when you have the opportunity to win, it's frustrating. Any time you lose, period, it's frustrating. But it's still early in the season. The biggest thing that stands out in my mind is that I think we could easily be undefeated right now.
game time
We had to win, so we went out and did it. But it has to be about one game at a time from here on in.
attention best challenge crowd guys love
We love the challenge of it. It's when we play our best football. Guys are more focused. We can go in there and take the crowd out of it. We like that pressure. It allows us more attention to detail.
