biggest game
It's a must-win game for us. It's our biggest game of the year, and we have to go out and play like it is.
best
It's amazing. I just feel so blessed. To be able to come out and not play my best and still win... I feel blessed.
fixed great seen since stadium time
It's great to be back. This is the first time I've seen the stadium since they fixed it up.
balanced couple last offense proven stops throw win won
At the end of the season, everyone said if we had to throw and someone stops the run, we won't be able to win because we can't throw the ball. The last couple of games, we've won by throwing. When you put it on our shoulders, we've proven we're a balanced offense and we can throw.
ball close decide grabbed knew leg luckily reaction saw slow sudden turned watch
I turned to watch him get in the end zone. All of a sudden I see the ball just go flying. My first reaction is just to go get it, but I knew I wasn't going to get there in time, so then it's let's try and slow him down. I think I turned him enough times that he got close to me and he couldn't decide which way to go, so now I just saw his leg and grabbed it, and luckily he went down.
bring moving people pressure
They bring them from all different angles. They have people moving all over the place, so they did get a little pressure on me.
against ball bears defense pittsburgh run saw supposed
We saw something in the Bears defense that made us think we could run the ball against them. We wanted to get back to what the Pittsburgh Steelers are supposed to do.
beat football game gets good team
This team is an unbelievable football team. They're as good as it gets in the NFL. It's going to take our A-plus game to go out and beat their B-minus game.
underdogs
We're the underdogs going into their place. Now we get to see what we can do.
definitely field game knock question quick team
You can never simulate the game, the game speed, in practice, especially a team like Indianapolis on their Field Turf. So I think it will be a challenge, I definitely think there will be some rust. The question is, how quick can I knock it off?
awesome golf relationship scared talk talked talking time unless
We had a relationship where when I first got there, I didn't go talk to him unless he talked to me. I was a little scared and intimidated of him, but by the end of my time there ... we were talking all the time. We go play golf all the time now. He's just an awesome person.
against team
We know that everybody's against you, and all we have is us. That's what makes this team so strong.
games happens row starts thinking three week win
We like to think so. But we're not going to say we can go three games in a row because we want to go one game in a row. It starts this week at home. Nothing happens if we don't win this game (against Detroit). We're not thinking about anything else.
ball block building coming knew throw
We knew coming in that we wanted to throw the ball more, ... It's like a building block for things that we are going to have to be able to do down the road.
