against close felt playing sync
When you play in the preseason, you don't game-plan. You're playing against yourself, really. I just felt like we were really close to being in sync and being really good.
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.
against team
We know that everybody's against you, and all we have is us. That's what makes this team so strong.
against believed
We had nothing to lose. No one believed in us but us. We're going to feel like it's us against the world one more time.
against game week
We don't think about that. We take it one game at a time. Every week we have a one-game season. This week we are 0-0 going against New England.
against approach based calls defense gives loaded passing situation taking work
We've done both. It's kind of been a situation of just taking what the defense gives us. If they've loaded up against the run, we've been able to work the passing game. It's just recognizing what approach they're taking, and making calls based on that.
against card disrespect everybody good media teams underdog wants
Everybody wants you to play the underdog card or the disrespect card. That's for the media. We don't disrespect them, and they are not favoring us. This is two good teams going against each other.
anybody bounce hopefully stronger team
We have to bounce back. If anybody is questioning themselves, they don?t need to be out here. I think this team will bounce back strong, hopefully stronger than ever. We have to; there?s no question.

We love playing for him because of his excitement and the energy that he brings to the table.
We've come a long way as a team.
brain guys last mature patience rely
You have to be mature doing what I do. These guys want to see a leader, not someone immature. I rely on my brain a little more than last year. It's a patience thing.
I ride a Harley and a chopper. Those are the two bikes I ride the most.
dad fathers gives good hail hand matter moment proud seen shakes sons threw time
I've seen fathers criticizing their sons the moment a game's over. Not my dad. It doesn't matter if I threw an interception or a Hail Mary, he always says, 'Good job, son, I'm proud of you.' Then he shakes my hand and gives me a hug. Every time.
I've always been big into snowmobiles, four-wheelers, jet skis, all kinds of those X Games kind of things.
