"But Broncos head coach Sean Payton isn't lacking in confidence for his team - even with Denver now soldiering on without starting quarterback Bo Nix. On Wednesday, Payton was asked by the media in Denver if he had any message for fans after urging them to be loud for last Sunday's divisional-round victory over the Bills. "Well, they're going to have plenty of rest after this one," Payton said. "Two weeks.""
"It should come as little surprise that a coach would echo plenty of confidence in his team's odds of punching their ticket to the Super Bowl on Sunday. Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel was posed such a question on Thursday at Gillette Stadium. "I think we're plenty motivated for the game. I think our players are continuing to build confidence through the week," Vrabel said. "I'm really excited to go out there and play.""
"The Patriots have made the most out of whatever slights have come their way this season. After a dominant defensive performance in last Sunday's AFC divisional-round victory over the Texans, several players on New England's defense acknowledged that they took umbrage with all of the discourse surrounding Houston's imposing defensive unit."

New England's defense used perceived slights as fuel after a dominant divisional win over the Texans, citing frustration over discourse about Houston's defense.
