We realized what it takes to beat good teams. We got to see it in one crazy environment. D.C. has some loud, great fans. That was an eye-opener for us.
We know it is there. It is one of those things - our goal is to not just win a game, but it is to get to the Super Bowl. That is just another streak that has to come to an end. We are going to have to prepare and get ready to play a great game for that to happen.
We have a lot in common and we do definitely resemble each other and definitely do all sound a little alike, but I'm definitely the tallest, better looking of the three. It's a curse that I have on my triplet brothers.
We have a lot of things to be proud of. We took Seattle to a place it's never been before.
We've got so much to be thankful for. I just want to thank each and everyone of you all for making this the best stadium in the world!
We're used to having to play in very, very tough climates. That's just part of the game. And we like wearing our dark uniforms better. It makes us feel like we're at home.
Winners win and losers lose. We weren't winners. We're winners this year. We look at the game differently. It's not like it was last year. We have a totally different team. We expect more from each other.
Where you're playing against someone when you have to be on point it's not wise to do like I did. It went from bad to worse. I was getting hits from folks I normally don't take hits from, and I fumbled the ball.
Y'all see what I see. Dead bodies laying around, and I get to step over them. They love hitting people.
We were all talking and cracking jokes, then all of a sudden there's a big bang. We all got tossed around inside a little bit. It was a little of a wakeup call for all of us.
I believe that Seattle is really, really close to being a dominant football team. We can have a great tradition for a long time. I want to be a part of that. But fair is fair. My gut tells me Seattle will be fair.
It was tough, ... but he's going to be good. He's strong. I was more emotional than he was. He's good. We're going to be OK.
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.
He's telling us everything before it happens. When it happens, you're like, 'OK, he's right.' Hopefully, during the game there's going to be some time he says, 'OK, this is going to be the next thing that happens,' and we're all going to trust and believe whatever he says.
