ask division obviously opportunity playoffs teams win wish
Obviously the division (title) may not happen, but the opportunity to get into the playoffs is there, and that's what we want. We don't have to wish on any other teams to win or lose. If we win, we're in -- and that's all we can ask for.

I told them I'm proud to be a part of this team. I've been on some great football teams. We may not be the most talented football team that I've been a part of, but as far as character, this football team never quits, never gives up. To me, those are the things that mean more than just wins and losses. Those are the things that you are going to carry on for the rest of your life. If you keep fighting and never quit, you can come back. It's all in how you respond. This football team has always responded, and that's what they did today.

... I use that stuff now even more than ever. A lot of times when you first come in, you're getting by on your speed or your athletic ability. When you start to lose that, that's when you start going to that kind of stuff. At that time, those guys were using that stuff and I was lucky to pick it up at a young age.

Earlier in my career, I would have scored.
beat found position
Sometimes it isn't pretty, but we've found a way to get it done and we've found a way to be in the position we're in right now. So if we beat Atlanta, we're 11-5 and we get in the playoffs. Anything can happen.

At my age, I think they sleep on me a little bit. They don't expect me to go deep.
