We're at our best when we do things as a team defensively. They fully understand that if we're going to win, we're going to have to win it at that end.

We're down to the last two weeks. Three-and-0, you probably win it outright. Two-and-one, you get a chance to get a share of it. That's why it's going to be very exciting.
