I know where Mike's coming from when he says, 'Focus on what you can control,'
I know where Mike's coming from. He really wanted me to focus on what I could control. But the simple fact is those guys are very different, and I haven't played with them.
I knew we haven't played really well on offense in the second half so far this season, so it's been mentioned,
I'm really in shock right now. Standing on that podium, raising that championship trophy, in front of our fans is definitely a dream come true.
He's meant a lot to us, in our careers and as a friend. It looked like he was having a lot of fun. If he does choose to go out that way, it's a great way to go out.
I don't overlook them; I think they're great. Our field position has been great all year, and our defense has created turnovers.
I do like the aggressive style. At least being on the offensive when you're on offense because we know how explosive the Rams are on offense.
I know in college there were certain places we weren't allowed to live or go after dark. It was kind of silly. That is not going to solve problems.
I hit him on a very similar route against Kansas City three years ago. He saw me and said, 'Hey, good throw, it's just like Kansas City.' I mean, that was three years ago. So that experience, and the reps that we've had together, it's hard to replace that.
I really don't know that much about their team, to be honest. That'll start Wednesday.
If he's healthy and can go, he's just another weapon for us. Another guy they can't leave by himself and if they do, Darrell will do what Darrell does.
I don't think he faded under pressure. I thought he made some really good plays, and I'm sure he'd tell you there's some plays he'd like to have back.
I don't think he faded under pressure. I had complete confidence in him.
I'm just glad you knew we were in the United States. Most people think we are in Canada.
