"We were 17-1 and people were asking us, 'Gee, do you really think you can stay with the Dolphins?' It was like a slap in the face. We talked about it and we agreed we had something to prove in that game. I don't want to say we hated the Dolphins by the end of the week, but...we didn't like 'em a whole lot, put it that way."
