Defensive end Greg Hardy, who tied a career-high with three sacks in the first half, said if Rivera was feeling pressure to win he never let on to his players at practice.
"He basically came out and said, 'You know what, (to heck with) me, I'm here for you guys,Al Horford Jersey,'" Hardy said. "He said, 'This is what we're going to do. We're going to win because we are a team not because of any of that.' It makes you want to play 10 times harder for him."
