With the weapons they have, we know we're going to have to score points, ... You never know exactly how these games are going to go, but it would be a very, very strange scenario for this to be a 9-6 game.
It shows what we can be when we get out of our own way. The last couple weeks, we made some mistakes that put us in some close games and when that happens, you're going to lose some of them.
I've thrown for a lot of yards and a lot of numbers and played a lot of games and been on some very competitive teams. But I think for my career to feel complete, I need to be the guy on the field quarterbacking the team when we win a championship. That's why I'm here.
I feel so fortunate, so honored, to have played this game that I love for so long, with so many great players, and in front of so many wonderful fans. I fulfilled a childhood dream the first time I stepped on an NFL field, and the league did not let me down one time.
It is the best feeling in the world to have a close game come down to just a couple of plays and you are able to do it.
That's the only reason I'm here. I don't need to play the game for any other reason than to win a championship.
I kind of picked up the game at an early age. The way that other kids would learn what a fork or a spoon is.
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.
He's got his little stories and sayings, ... and if we go on to win a bunch of games and bring a championship back to the Cowboys organization, he's going to be worshipped as he's been in other places.
We're going to show up and play the game anyway.
The only time you see a game like that is in college.
Really what they played was a similar style of defense to what they played last year when they went on the run. They gave up some yards here and there, but they tightened up when we got into scoring territory.
I will tell you this that everybody that plays against Lawyer is aware of where he is and aware of his ability to make big plays. As far as his speed, his aggressiveness, his physical style, I haven't seen a falloff at all.
Some of those, to me, are the best plays I've made because my natural inclination as a competitor is to make plays all the time.
