I definitely reacted more excited than Mack did. I'm jumping up and down and screaming and pumping my fists. I think I started the wave in there.
I'd take a Super Bowl victory and just a bit of Paul Allen's money.
I am proud of Mo and this whole team. I have been telling everybody for the last couple years that we were close to being a championship team, and I was proud of the guys this year for always accepting challenges. This was just another challenge. You lose a player, and guys just step up.
He's in good spirits and he's going to be all right.
I couldn't believe they did it. I just think momentum is a strong thing. Whenever you got a chance to keep momentum going, you should never change it, because it gave momentum to us.
I don't believe in figuring who's the underdog. I just know that the team that gets the best record gets home-field advantage through the playoffs and then if you win that, you go to Detroit. ... We look at it as we simply play the Steelers and the winner is the best team in the world.
I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but if you just set one goal -- 'We're destroying everyone and winning the Super Bowl' -- then that's just it. It's win or lose.
I'm feeling blessed. I didn't think that I would be able to heal that fast. At halftime, I thought it was amazing how healthy I was mentally.
I let Mack (Strong) beat up on people, and I run behind him. That's going to work. It doesn't matter what other teams do, it's always going to work.
Ever since (childhood), I realized that one of the coolest things in the game is scoring touchdowns. And I think mentally that still drives me.
It was an emotional roller coaster - going from Christmas, then your aunt dies, and then all the stats come out and you might get all these records. I've been asked, 'How do you feel' Tired. I'm really blessed we do have this week off where I can kind of grab a hold back to reality.
Everyone knows me and my wife's story. We didn't have sex until we got married.
I am ready. I'm in great shape. My workouts have been great. I'm ready to get back and help a team get to the Super Bowl.
I think when you're winning, your uniforms are cool.
