He's been running like a man on a mission this year. Every week, he's performed. He's a big reason why we have the bye this week and are moving on to the second round of the playoffs.

five freak front game jobs nature nobody players playing quality rest
There is nobody else in the game who does the things Walter does. He's just a freak of nature. But for the rest of us humans, we still get our jobs done. I mean, the quality of the players that we have playing on that front five is just amazing.

If anybody deserves it, he does. I don't think a lot of people expected us to be where we're at right now. They expected us to be second, or maybe even third, in our division. But he's done a great job of managing the players. Through all the injuries we've had to key guys, here we are with the best record in the NFL.
I don't think it's that big a deal.
