The Colts face Carolina before their long-anticipated matchup with unbeaten New England in the RCA Dome. Tight end Dallas Clark on all the hype:
"It's foolish. We can't control what the media talks about. They are definitely looking forward to it. We're not. We're more focused on Carolina and this game. As a player, it doesn't bother too many people. They are doing a great job and they deserve all the talk and all the credit and all the this and that. They are taking care of business. We are too focused on our job and taking care of our business and taking it one week at a time."
I also asked Clark about the Jaguars' new safeties. He held off on making a full assessment because he said the Colts' success in the ground game changed the dynamics. "They are doing some different things and we were able to get some plays out there on them," Clark said. "But when you get to run the ball, it really opened things up and we were able to do that."
