Building From Success, Cardinals Can't Fall For The Hype

Mike LaFleur had already moved on.

By the time the Cardinals head coach was addressing the media on Monday, he had already spent nearly five hours preparing for the Seattle Seahawks.

"I forgot about (Sunday's) game," LaFleur said. "I had to do a review of the Chargers game because you just naturally move on."

Having spent more than a decade in the NFL, LaFleur has experienced why it is important to steer clear of the hype.

"It's just noise. Nothing matters," LaFleur said. "The only thing that matters is getting through the recovery, doing what they got to do to get their mind right, flush it, and then get right back to work on Wednesday because we got a really quality opponent that's coming in to our stadium."

Running back Jeremiyah Love said postgame that he'll celebrate for a half hour and then shift his attention towards next week.
