The coaches we have don't blink when they see it. They understand it. We have rules about how we like to play against the 3-4. We know it.

That is probably not going to happen against these guys. These guys are very good defensively. I think we need to be ready to weather the storm a little bit in terms of not being as successful as we're used to being.

We understand that this is Jerome Bettis' hometown and that he's going to get a lot of the attention. He's a classy guy who's had a great career. You can see why it's kind of hard for us to compete against that for attention.

He had another incredible play against Detroit on a screen. I've watched all their games and he's great every game.

Once I had this horrible start my first year as starter, and he sat down during the game and told me about this horrible game he had in 1997 against the New York Jets, but still went to the Pro Bowl. He didn't have to be the guy that he was.

I'm not sure they were mental mistakes as much as just mistakes. I guess it wasn't our day that way. You can't make the mistakes we made and expect to win the game against a good team like this.

Knowing Chike -- he's a guy with a great pass rush and he's got a motor -- I don't think any quarterback gets excited about going up against him. I think our guys, hopefully, will be up to the task.

I hit him on a very similar route against Kansas City three years ago. He saw me and said, 'Hey, good throw, it's just like Kansas City.' I mean, that was three years ago. So that experience, and the reps that we've had together, it's hard to replace that.

You can't make the mistakes we made and expect to win against a good team like this.
