We're a passing team, there's no doubt about that, and we always have been. When you look up at the end of the year, we're going to have a lot of yards on the ground, and we're going to score a lot of touchdowns.
We're here playing the greatest game of our lives, which we're going to have to do to win.
We have an unbelievable team, an unbelievable group of fans. Prayer works. I get knocked out and guys step up. One guy goes down and another guy steps up.
We were comfortable going into the championship game because we know he usually wins 'em.
Through generations, they taught me that it's OK to be black and confident, black and loving, and to be black and a leader.
We're just a team. Every week, somebody goes down and somebody steps up. We're willing to pick up our fallen brother. That's just how it is.
We're just a team, and that's the greatest compliment that you can give.
Y'all see what I see. Dead bodies laying around, and I get to step over them. They love hitting people.
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 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.
They said they had never seen anyone out for 20 minutes on the sidelines and then all of a sudden I just knew everything that was going on.
They said it was time to come home and I knew what that meant.
They've always been upfront about when this year's over, we'll take care of it and we'll do what's best for the team and family.
A little wake-up call for all of us.
