March is so close. It's kind of surreal right now that we're in the Super Bowl and we lost, but I definitely feel like I'm about to have some of the greatest years of my life. To not have a real home yet, it's a weird feeling.
That might help us. The Steelers have played great on the road in the playoffs, but this might be the closest they've had to a home game with all of the support here in Detroit.
That first season is over with. Now we get to start and we get to try to win two games at home to get to go to Detroit and play the best game of our life and that's really all we're focused on now.
They said it was time to come home and I knew what that meant.
We love the fact we have one of the best records (15-3) in the NFL and people still think it is luck.
We don't care if we're overlooked or not overlooked, if we're picked to win or not picked to win. When you get to the playoffs, it's just about playing the game, looking at it for what it is, and trying to be ahead when the clock runs out.
This whole town is excited. They have been craving for something special since the beginning.
We've come a long way. It's taken five years to put this group together and we're happy where we are.
To be in that situation is just amazing.
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.
This team has accomplished some goals. Now my family is getting together on what we should do -- and then go on.
What people don't realize is that he's the best fullback in football. And to me he has been for the last three years. And he's never complained about what he has to do.
We gave away a lot of opportunities to be a world champion.
