I really wanted to hit that one after he (Colorado kicker Mark Zetterberg) hit that one from 50 yards. But I was off on my step and my aim was off.

But I missed a guy last week against Miami and really let the team down.

We have a lot of pride on the speciality teams and it bothered me that I let the guys down last week. Maybe this one made up for it." l-back Richard Barns Did you feel any pressure when you knew Monte Anthony was not going to bt playing tho stcond half? I didn't really feel any pressure. It was just a matter of getting the job done. We have a great line which I knew would take care of me and we have good depth on the team and there were other guys who could have played."
