We owed the Saints twofold. They kept us out of the playoffs in last year's final game, so the payback was doubly sweet. If a certain two of our cheerleaders can double their pleasure, why can't we?
He has so much power, he keeps on moving and grinding those legs. It was beautiful to watch. He just kept on going.
In Chicago last week, it was the same thing. It's the whole atmosphere about it, you know there's nobody else but the coaches and the players and that's it, and you've just got to focus in and get it done.

Not a day goes by that I don't think about that game. And not a day goes by that I don't want to get back there again.
It was a bad throw by me, absolutely awful. Stephen was the check down. I saw him there and took my eyes off him and then went back. It was absolutely on me.
It was a bad throw by me. Absolutely awful.
