difference fans great home man stadium undefeated
Being undefeated at home made all the difference in the world for our team. The 12th man - the great fans in this stadium - made a difference all season, but never more than in this game.
anybody best deserves expected great injuries job key managing maybe people record
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.
along block far game goes great guy guys knock player trying walt watching weird
We get to see it Mondays. It is weird watching a guy block another player -- a great player -- and knock him backwards. You see as the game goes along that the guys are trying to get as far away from Walt as they can.
balanced defend football gets great guys hard news nine offense passing stop tries washington win
They're going to try to stop Shaun? Wow, news flash. I feel like we have a balanced enough offense that if Shaun gets 50 yards, if that's all he's got, we can still win the football game. If Washington comes out and tries to put eight, nine guys in the box, then we're going to have a great day passing the football. It's going to be incredible. I think it's going to be hard for them to defend us.
almost bringing corner great job ready safety
They do a great job of bringing them. They corner blitz, they bring the safety, they bring linebackers. So you have to be ready on almost every play that they're going to bring somebody.

I definitely wasn't expecting that. But it was a great way to begin the week.

A great place to live. I'm rare. I've been with one team my whole career.

This is a great football team. I love the guys in this locker room.

With Darrell back, we got all of our weapons; we are locked and loaded. We are ready for whoever comes in here next Sunday.
game glamorous guys love nuts
You have to be nuts to do what I do. It's not necessarily a glamorous position. You have to really love the game because most guys don't want to play it.
basically came career coming marked remember struggling
We basically came from the bottom. I remember when I first got here in '93, we were 6-10, just coming off a 2-14 season. We were a struggling bunch, and I didn't know if my whole career was going to be marked by disappointment.
coming good honest lying plugging
To be honest with you, I didn't see it coming back then. I'd be lying if I said I did. But you just keep plugging away. You just keep working hard, and good things happen.
allen came couple felt home last los saved signed weeks worked
We were down there for a couple of weeks working out and everything, which was very weird, very, very weird. I'd just signed a new contract, I felt at home in Seattle, and the last place I wanted to be was Los Angeles. Fortunately, Mr. Allen came in and saved the team, and it all worked out.
obstacles tough
There have been a lot of tough years, a lot of challenging times and obstacles to overcome. But we're here.
