anybody cap seen
I've never seen anything like that. For anybody to go in and get turnover after turnover and then cap it off with a touchdown, that's unbelievable.
ready short sounds
It was very important. Two-and-two sounds a whole lot better than one-and-three. It was very important for us to get this win. Especially on a short week, so now we can get ready for Arizona.
coming doubt early football guys knew looks people season smiling talented team type
There's no doubt about it. We knew that coming into the year. This is the most talented football team I've been around. I know what a championship team looks like. I told the guys early in the season we can be that type of team. We don't have to play people close. If we play like we're capable, we'll be smiling at the end of every game.
changed momentum ride rode tone
That was so huge. Right there, that changed the tone of the game. Momentum is a monster, and if you get it on your side, you ride it, baby. And we rode it.
catch closer god juice left playing points thank thinking took
When I first took off I said I am going to get him. But then I said I ain't going to catch him. But as I got closer and closer I said I got him. I'm thinking that if I don't catch him we are down 10 points and the way we are playing right now it is over. But thank God I had a little juice left in the tank.
appreciate believe build core fact guys happened simple strong troubled
When you go through something like that and you come out of there, you appreciate everything you have at that point, because of the simple fact you had to work. We had to go through some troubled times. But I believe that's when you build character. That's what happened with this team. The core guys who went through that, that's why we're so strong today.
against backs coming football good great playoff rest run somehow swinging understand wall
When our backs are against the wall, somehow we always come out swinging and play a great football game. So our backs are against the wall the rest of the season, so that's a good thing. It's a playoff run from here on out and we understand that. We have two big ones coming up.
easier home win
It's the first game, a home game, the Saints. You've got to win that one and we didn't do that. It's not going to get any easier as we go on.
absolutely april guy locker room surprise weight
Does it surprise me that he still makes plays? Absolutely not, because I see what he does in the weight room in March, April and May. The guy is an inspiration to everyone in this locker room.
fit
It wasn't scripted, but it kind of fit the plan.
against heart says year
What it says is we have a heart of a champion, man. To do this on the road, against that Rams team. We showed again we will not quit. We're going to fight. We've been doing it all year long, and we will not stop.
guys hear might straight
It comes straight from the heart. You might hear some things you might not want to hear. Guys get emotional. Guys say it like they see it. And I think that's what makes it so touching, because it's from the heart.
played stayed themselves within
They stayed within themselves and they played well,
cross disrespect line trying
That's just disrespectful. We ain't trying to disrespect people. You go do your little antics. That's all good, as long as it doesn't cross the line of disrespect.
