The thing is, as a receiver and a quarterback, we both have to recognize where the big play might be, and then apply it to what we had called, ... We can adjust it just by looking at each other. We'll both see the same hole in the defense, and he'll tell me, 'OK, I'm coming your way' in his way.'
We went through the bumps and bruises that first year or two, ... But we've developed a rapport where we can do things without speaking. Of the 83 touchdowns we've had, I can't tell you how many we've come up with on the fly.
I wanted to get out there and practice, not necessarily for the game Sunday, but for the preparation for the first playoff game.
That's the thing that's bothering me more than anything.
I was trying to get up slowly so I wouldn't get knocked in the head, ... and I got up and ran.
You don't come into your career hoping it happens. When it happens, you look back and you have a great appreciation for getting it and for the guys that have done it,
You just never know when it's going to end or what it's going to be when it's done.
True. But I wasn't talking about the movie. I mean we're 'stir crazy,' as in bored as heck. We miss life in the fast lane, surely make you lose your mind. If a miracle should happen and Pittsburgh wins this game, then the notion of clinching home-field advantage early will be questioned forever.
I can't really put my words into sentences to say how it feels, ... (Rice) has been around for a long time and done a lot of great things. I don't really put myself next to Rice.
The only time I really know how special the three of us have been is when someone brings it to our attention,
We always seem to be on the same page.
When Peyton got here (in 1998), I saw a quarterback who works as hard as I do, ... I thought, 'This could be something.'
It kind of hits me knowing the fact it's still early in both our careers,
We're just happy we got it out of the way, and we're looking forward to a lot more touchdowns in the future.
