Detroit, you were incredible. Pittsburgh, here we come. I played this game to win a championship. I'm a champion. I think The Bus ... his last stop is here, in Detroit.

ball detroit game great knew last lost mind since turn
Detroit was always in the back of my mind since we lost in the AFC championship game last year. I thought we could get there and I knew if we didn't turn the ball over we had a great chance.

Denver's been underrated all year and so have we, and that makes for a really great game.

caliber care commitment conducive environment good keeps message morale perform player positive shows team whenever
This is good for the team, ... It keeps team morale up. Whenever you get a player of his caliber signed, it shows the commitment the organization has to its players. I think it reinforces a positive message that if you go out there and perform on the field, we'll take care of you. I think that makes a very, very conducive environment for us to go out there and work.
calm forward looked
This is the calm before the storm. We've looked forward to getting back to practice. It's our haven, where we look to get away from everything.
feels moment relish wished
This feels great. It makes everything that I've ever had to go through worthwhile. I've always wished it could have been me, and now that I have the opportunity, I relish every moment of it.
ben
After Ben got hurt, I told Charlie, 'When you give me the ball, look it all the way into my body,' ... 'Just look it into me. I'll do the rest.'
against believe came coaches easier execute expects feels game great nobody picking pressure
No question, I think it's a lot easier when there's no expectations. We know what that feels like to have that pressure on you and we came out and said, 'Hey, it's us against everybody.' Nobody expects us to win, nobody is picking us to win, and that's fine. As long as we believe it and the coaches give us a great game plan, we'll execute it and come out on top.
best bowl couple eventual felt sad super team three
No question. I felt, a couple of those years, we had the best team, that was the sad part. All three years, I felt we had the better team (better than the three eventual Super Bowl winners).
couple good last
The one thing is that, on the road, we've been really, really good the last couple of years. It's something we can take as a positive.
