Coming back in that AFC Championship Game against the Steelers, that was a poignant moment for me for a lot of reasons - the magnitude of the game and having not been able to play for quite a while and to be able to get on the field for that game. That one stands out.
Unfortunately, we're in a situation where, in order to get into the playoffs, we need to win this week, and then we need some help. It's interesting playing the late game. We'll know before kickoff whether a win helps us or not.
To go and talk to somebody that has a negative relationship with the guy, I just don't see the benefit for me personally or our team in doing that.
A lot of throws I make to him feel weird to me. It feels like I'm throwing to the wrong place, but it's actually the right place for him because it's up high and he can snatch it.
They're deep questions. The kids raise a lot of questions that you wouldn't expect a child to pick up on.
That's what you do, ... After the game you shake hands and live to fight another day.
That's Key's play, ... I asked for it.
You play this game to play, ... It feels that much sweeter when you are on the field. ... To have that situation play out the way it did, it's an emotional high.
You don't get another chance to make a first impression, everybody knows that, ... That is important. But at the same time, the process for me is going to be one where on a day-to-day basis, I'm going to have to show a willingness to work hard. I'm going to have to be here for the team.
There were really two things that factored into my decision. One of them was Bill obviously, and then the other one was looking at the talent that was here.

Anytime somebody picks somebody else over you, it's motivating. The Bills went and picked this young kid to play ahead of me. I don't think it was the right decision. I still don't. I want to go out and prove I can still get it done. The ability to throw the ball effectively, accurately and all over the field is still there. When that goes away, I think you'll see me tip my cap and hand it off to somebody else.
As a veteran player, I understand there's a method to his madness,
A win like this shows what we can be when we get out of our own way,
