QUOTE TO NOTE: "If the No. 1 seed happens, that certainly means we've been able to win some games along the way and do the things that were necessary to get you to that point. Our guys have been really focused and looking at things the proper way. This game (with the Broncos) would not be any different. We have to go at it like every other game that we've played. We have to focus in on our practice, how we prepare and let that (the outcome) take care of itself. The key is winning. If you win it seems to take care of itself. We don't necessarily need anyone's help. It boils down to controlling the things that you can control. That's what we try to do week to week." -- Colts coach Jim Caldwell on Indianapolis having the opportunity to clinch home-field advantage throughout the playoffs with a win over Denver.
