complete couple everybody field football guy played shows team today
It shows that we're a complete team. This team is not just about one guy or a couple of guys. It's about everybody on this football team. Everybody that went out there on that field today that played is important.
came destiny knew next played team together until wait year
I can't wait until next week. I just feel like we're a team of destiny. This is a year of destiny and we knew if we came out here and played together as a team we would find a way to win.
locked next ready whoever
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.
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.
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.
complete needed shows sob time whether
We didn't have time to sob or sulk or anything else. It shows we're a complete team. It's not just about one guy. Whether you play one play or 70 plays, we needed it all today.
averages ball carries game guy maybe yards
I don't know where that comes from. You tell me. The guy carries the ball 25 times a game and averages 100 yards a game. I don't think that's soft. Maybe because he does it with a smile.
calls year
Matt's made calls like that all year long.
alone beginning chance gave near nobody overcome ran season sentiment straight super
Nobody gave us a chance at the beginning of the season to make it to the Super Bowl. Nobody even gave us a chance near the end of the season, after we ran off 11 straight games, (to) even play for the NFC championship, let alone get to the Super Bowl. I feel like that's a sentiment we've had to overcome all year. Each time we've overcome that challenge, and I feel like we'll do the same this time.
definitely noticing people start winning
If we keep winning on Sundays, ... people are definitely going to start noticing us.
