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.
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 think the heat was awesome. I'd love to play 15 more games in that kind of weather.
I think the crowd did a great job at the end.
It is going to be exciting to see us come out next year and prepare our trip to Miami.
I think we showed a lot of people about this team.
I think whenever you play football, at any time it could be your last play. I think that's the great thing about this sport. Every week and every play, you have to play like it's your last. I'll just go out there and play hard, and that's the best I can do.
I think that, come January, we will be one of the offenses that everybody is going to fear. Everybody forgets that Jacksonville and Atlanta have a very good defense. I think we've done well against them.
I think a lot of people don't know how good we are.
Just have fun with it all. This is one of those things where it will be like, 'Dang, we got here once.' Of course we don't want it to be like that, but it is possible. So the best thing for us to do is just enjoy this all and then Sunday, be ready to just play unbelievable.
Jerome is in a class of his own. He's much bigger than anybody else, and for him to have that speed and to be able to sidestep people, and then run through people, that puts him in a different class.
Kobe scored 81 points. I was asking the guys the other day, 'How do you score that many points in a game?' That's like scoring seven touchdowns.
I saw that team take the growing pains and get to the playoffs, then win the division. I want to be here to see us win three or four Super Bowls. That's my only goal. So for me, I'm like, 'OK. If you guys are handling that side of it, call me when it's really, really ready to get done.' But as of right now, I'm going to try to do everything I can to get this team to the Super Bowl.
