Q. Do you want to start off by giving us your thoughts on the match tonight?

LATIF BLESSING: I think we need to win this game. So just talk to our teammates, talk to everybody. We all go into this game -- I think last year we played against Seattle. It's like a Cup match. This time it's around, it's like payback time. We just work out receives out, we're going to win this game. That's why it happened. So everybody kind of keep going. So I'm happy we won this game.
