"The Eagles weren't ready to play that day and we were. That was the difference. I could see it in Jaworski's eyes on the very first series. He looked like a guy who realized he was in over his head and didn't know what to do about it. The other players had the same look. Very tight, very nervous. I knew if we got a quick lead on them, it would be all over. That's how it turned out."
