They've always been up front about when this year's over, we'll take care of it.
It's great to know I'm going to be in the second round of the playoffs. This is a new door for us, but it's something we've been preparing for a long time, so we're really excited.
It's really funny because it was already in my mind to come in anyway. I prayed about it. It was just time. I knew this team could be special. I just felt like it was my time to come in. Tim made that offer as a gesture of goodwill when he didn't know me. It's all going to work out. I believe in that.
This is the best family atmosphere we've had in six years here. That's what family members do, when somebody's not there, they say, 'We're going to carry you for a while.' And that's how the whole game went.
This contract is truly a blessing. To be the highest running back ever is quite an honor. It's pretty good.
Our defense did good enough for us to win, and we didn't help them out at all. Jacksonville did what they wanted to do against us, which is throw us around. They totally controlled the whole game.
There's really no more pressure that any game or situation could put on me that I don't put on myself. I'm just going to go out there the same way I always do and try to do some things that are even more amazing than some of the things I've been able to do before.
There's never really any more pressure that a game would put on me. It's easy to stay focused for this game. One play could change the whole game and you're not playing anymore.
The more film I watch, the more I understand that we have to do some great things to run the ball. They stop a lot of plays. And not only that, they push running backs out of holes that they are supposed to be running into, and a lot of times they don't get credit for that. They are amazing players.
I definitely think Kobe Bryant is more recognizable.
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.
