(On confidence of position within the NFC South moving forward)

"We knew going in as a division game, this was for sure going to be a battle and it was. As we get ready, we're on to the next one when we get back. As far as looking too far ahead, one of the things that I do like about our team is we're able to stay on the present moment and focus on the team that is at hand. I think sometimes when you can look too far ahead, that can jam you up. Our focus this week was on us and how well we could attack, so we're going to stay right in that window."
