basically doctor expected faster healed last latter people practice released spoke surgery trying
I healed up well. They say some people heal faster than expected sometimes. I spoke with the doctor in Philadelphia who did the surgery and he said, 'Do what you can.' He basically released me to go and practice and do what I can out on the field, as long as I'm pain-free. And it's been pain-free this whole week, and the latter part of last week. So, I'm just trying to heal up and get better every day, day in and day out.
I don't know if this is my time,
focus
I didn't even know (about it). That's not our focus. Our focus is just to get better and be around in the playoffs.
best chapter familiar ironic won
Chapter three. It's kind of ironic -- they won here and we won there. We're familiar with them, they're familiar with us. We got to go out and play our best game.

ball biggest chance difference field game gets hold offense past plays runs sit takes walk zone
The difference in this game is we made very big plays, the biggest plays you can make when there was a chance to make big plays. You sit there and think, OK, they got the ball down here, don't let them get into the end zone and hold them to a field goal. Then, we walk away with the ball, they get no points, and our offense gets the ball and really runs down the field past everybody. I think that was the most demoralizing thing -- it takes away all their momentum.
build feeling fourth lonely motivation quarter winning
You want to build off that feeling you had at the end of the fourth quarter when you're not winning the game. It's a quiet, lonely feeling, and it's something you don't like to feel. That's the motivation right there.
beat became bowl came last played super time
The last time we played them, they came down and beat us and went to the Super Bowl and became champs. I think that's going to be on a lot of people's minds.

I'm just glad that I'm healthy right now with my hand. I can play the piano again, so I'm alright.
