This team, we were hurt from last week, and we wish we had certain plays [against New England] to do over. But we also knew it was still all ahead of us.

I know he was fired up going into the game. We had talked about how excited we were to get the opportunity. You couldn't tell he was nervous. He handled the offense well and got us in the right plays.

The key is to practice each week like you're going to play. Even if you don't play that game, you're still developing good habits, still fine-tuning your game, so when your number is called, you're able to go out there and perform.
