We have a lot of things to be proud of. We took Seattle to a place it's never been before.
I think overall, it's our team. Our team has done stuff Seattle has never seen before. And we're not done. We're excited about the rushing title, we're excited about the scoring title, and we're excited about the MVP.
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.

Anytime you lose, it's a terrible feeling. This was an exciting opportunity. I definitely think that if I come back to Seattle we'll be back. ... Where's the Super Bowl next year? Miami? Yeah, Miami's good.

When I started here, we went 6-10 and watched other teams dance on our field to our music. I've seen us go from a team people laughed at to a team people have to respect. Now we're at the Super Bowl trying to build a dynasty.
