along bigger flattering named proud
It's flattering to be named with Peyton Manning as one of the guys, but it's just something that comes along with winning. I'm proud of it and I'm happy, but I've got bigger things on my mind.
ball couple defense easier easy gets red side
It was easy today. When the defense gets you the ball like that so many times in a row, that many times on that side of the 50, and a couple of times in the red zone, it really makes it a lot easier for you offensively.
beat control game needed win
It's a game we had to win to control the division. You can say all you want about how we had to beat Pittsburgh, we just needed to win this game.
far freedom given job last
I've been given a lot of freedom as far as that's concerned, but no more freedom than I had last year, ... It's the quarterback's job to get you in the right play. That's just part of my role. If anything, I'm just more experienced doing it.
anybody both complement faster gets physical physically quicker
They're both unique. They do completely different things well and complement each other perfectly. T.J.'s a physical guy, a physical blocker, physical when he gets the ball. He's like Hines Ward. And Chad, he's just physically a freak. He's so much faster than anybody else and so much quicker and explosive.
ask best compete guy receiver tough wants
They compete over who's going to have a better game. You can't ask for more than that as a quarterback. You've got one guy who wants to play better than the best receiver in the league. That's a tough combination to defend.
against blowing giving great job move open phenomenal plenty pocket room step throws
They did a phenomenal job of blowing open the pocket and giving me plenty of room to step into throws and move around. Now they know it's on them again. They're going against a great D line.
eerie feeling felt
It was just a weird, eerie feeling in the stadium. It was something I've never felt before.
arrived guys locker room seems top
It seems like we're on top of the world right now. But I don't think guys in this locker room really feel like that. I think they feel we haven't arrived yet.
definitely fear gets guy opens passing puts
It opens up the passing game, ... When a guy gets open that early, it definitely puts fear into their hearts.
answer coming good great huge teams win
It's a huge win for us, ... Coming in here, we said good teams and great teams answer after a loss.
bump deal game hopefully hoping looking small solid worry
It sucks, but I'm looking at it as a small bump in the road, ... I'm hoping I can get through this thing. I haven't thought of it as a big deal or a big problem. I just need to get it as solid as I can before game day, this Saturday, and hopefully I don't have to worry about it much more this season.
himself
It's not offensive, it's harmless. He's just being Chad. He's being himself and doing what comes to his head.
beat chad corners took
They took Chad away. They didn't think T.J. could beat them. He took every one of their corners out of the game.
