People say we get hurt and don't last as long, but it's still an important position and you need everyone in the backfield to be able to contribute.

Every team in the NFL is hard, but when we play our own division it's a fight. Our goal is to make it to the playoffs and to do that we have to win games within the division. We match up well against this division, it's just a matter of getting on the field and doing what we know we can do.
