ball ben great guy guys heck job rarely saved speed tackle
I thought it was over when we had the ball at the 2-yard line. Didn't you? Of course, I thought it was over. Everyone did. Then a guy who very rarely fumbles fumbled, and Ben did a heck of a job to tackle the guy. He saved our year. It was a great play. When you're in your goal-line offense, you have all big guys out there and the only guy with any speed is the quarterback.
beat believe care coaching execute felt game guys job locker maybe plan staff
We have a lot of confidence. Maybe the world doesn't believe that we can go out and win, but to beat the No. 1 and No. 2 and No. 3 seeds, you've got to have confidence. We felt like with the guys and coaching staff that we have in this locker room, we could get the job done. We've just got to go out and execute our game plan and make plays, and everything will take care of itself.
coming comment continue great handling job kid might possible pressure scenario tough
He's a big kid at heart. When the pressure is there, when times are tough and you need to make a big play, he might make a comment where he loosens everyone up and get things going. He's done a great job of handling everything. This year, he's been in every scenario possible - coming from behind, doing the two-minute drill, he was in a shootout. He's experienced all that and he's going to continue to grow.
coming exciting houston improvement job playing sit tremendous win
To sit there and do that, and for us to say there's still improvement that we need to make, that's the exciting part of it. Coming on the road, playing here in Houston with the heat, we went out there and did a tremendous job to do what we had to do to win the game.

We've had to come from behind and he's done that. He's done a great job of handling adversity, calming guys down, making little jokes in the huddle. That's just the way he is.
ball confidence guys job passing plays running spread three time trying
The ball is getting spread around, and everybody's happy. We're still trying to find our identity. We're still a running team, but, when it's time to make plays in the passing game, we've got confidence all three of our guys can go out there and get the job done.
behind blocking count everybody jobs players rallying sure whatever
I told Jerome that whatever I have to do, if it was going out there and blocking linebackers or whatever, I was going to do it for him. Jerome has affected, in some way, everybody on this team. He's someone you can count on. I think our players were rallying behind him and making sure they did their jobs so they could get him to Detroit.
good job last telling veteran
Last year, going 15-1, everyone's patting you on the back telling you what a good job you did, it kind of got overwhelming. It can get overwhelming even for veteran guys.
guy job ken phenomenal stepping
Ken has done a phenomenal job of distributing the ball. Every week, it's a different guy stepping up.
far fit flamboyant job mold
I just fit the mold as far as a blue-collar guy. I may not be the flashiest, most flamboyant out there, but I get the job done for my team.
jobs team blue
I wanted to finish my career as a Steeler. I felt I just fit the mold as far as a blue-collar guy. I may not be the flashiest, most flamboyant wide receiver out there. But I get the job done for my team.
jobs play well-known
It's well known that I play aggressively. When I'm not doing that, I'm not doing my job.
career count game looked man
We have to count our blessings. The man above, he really looked down on Jerome and said, 'I'm not going to let you end your career on a fumble like that.' ... We're one game away from getting him to Detroit.
fell focus game guys short
We fell one game short (last year). A lot of guys are focused, real hungry. Things didnt go particularly the way we wanted in the preseason, but you dont game-plan in the preseason. Our whole focus now is Tennessee.
