On if Dallas is particularly dangerous because they are coming off an embarrassing loss: They are all dangerous. They are a good football team. Their playoff lives are at stake and so are ours. It will be a stiff test for us.

On how he expects the Cowboys to respond to last week's loss: Everybody in this League has a lot of pride. When you go out there and lay an egg, it leaves a bitter taste and you can't wait for the next one. I'm sure we're going to get their best shot, and we've just got to make sure we give them ours.

On if playing on Christmas Eve is a distraction: We're fortunate. We're at home, and it's Christmas Eve and not Christmas. During the holidays, we have a wide variety of different obligations when you're in this League. So to answer your question, I don't think it's a distraction, though.
