But it's going to be a tough game at Denver. We're not looking at Detroit, we're looking at Denver.

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.

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.

So many kids have asthma and think they can't do it.

I feel so bad for him. He knew this was coming, but you hate to see it happen during Super Bowl week. He's not even going to get to enjoy it.

It's just great that we're able to win and give him another crack at that elusive Super Bowl ring.
coach game good people realize remembered starting ultimately winning
It's a shame, but I think now people are starting to realize how good a coach he's been for how long. And I think before the game he's being acknowledged for that, so I really think that's a good thing. But ultimately you're only remembered for winning the big game.
