block everybody gets job party sure
What Stevens said is true; their job is to make sure it's not a big block party after the game. Our job is to make sure everybody gets a ticket.
earlier helps played understand
We understand it is going to be deafening and we aren't going to be able to hear. But it helps having played there earlier this season.
beating bowling good major maybe mother smart street time
Bowling was my first love. Beating my mother for the first time when I was 13 or 14 was a major accomplishment. I had big glasses. I was a pretty smart kid, maybe nerdy, but I always had a good street sense.
half knew matter offensive played terrible time winning
We were winning and we played a terrible half from an offensive standpoint. We knew it was just a matter of time for us to get clicking.
definitely
If they play well, we win. If they don't play well, we're not going to have much success. They are definitely our backbone.
closer game lying opportunity step takes
I'd be lying to you if I said it was complete. Having an opportunity to play in this game takes me one step closer to it being complete.
expected fine nobody picking
Nobody expected us to win, nobody was picking us to win. That's fine ... as long as we believed.
appreciate asked game giving hug second shake thank walk
One, I asked them to give me 110 percent. I told them if you walk away from this game giving that, I'm going to say thank you, shake your hand, give you a big hug and tell you how much I appreciate it. The second thing I told them was to get me home.
course crosses ground people saw
Of course it crosses your mind. I was on the ground and I just saw people running. I fumbled the football, and that's a no-no, something I can't do. I was mad.
crossed last
Of course, it crossed my mind. But that thought was short-lived. Fortunately, it's not (my last play).
capable fun impressed knew last pound running week year
I was impressed a little last year and I was really impressed in Week 1 of how well he was running inside. From that aspect, yeah, I knew he was capable of it, but to see him really, really pound it in there was fun to see.
care supposed
I was fortunate. I'm supposed to take care of the football. That's my job. I fumbled the football; that's a no-no, that's something you can't do.
game looking tough
But it's going to be a tough game at Denver. We're not looking at Detroit, we're looking at Denver.
ben charlie running team throw whether
But that's nothing new. We're going to be a running team whether it's Ben or Tommy or Charlie at quarterback. And we'll still throw the football, too.
