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.
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.'
bus last stops
The Bus stops here. The last stop is here in Detroit.
job
That's my job. There was no way I wasn't going to get into the end zone.
chops impact knew licking opportunity proud tough
That's my role. Third-and-1, I'm licking my chops because that is my opportunity to come in and make an impact in the game. So when they called my number, I knew I had to get that yard. I was able to do that. I feel really proud to get those tough yards.
That's my role. That's my job. If we don't go for it there, I'm pretty much useless. There was no way I wasn't getting into the end zone.
bus champion game last played stop win
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.
pittsburgh
Detroit, you are incredible. Pittsburgh here we come.
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.
denver great underrated year
Denver has been underrated all year and so have we. That makes for a really great game.
few locker past room unique
I've never been in a locker room like this one. When I was with the Rams, there was nothing like this. And years I've been here in the past, it hasn't been like this. It's been a unique locker room the past few years.
