best gets guy maintain messed obvious poise politics
The politics are what is kind of messed up about this league. A guy gets money, and it's obvious he's going to play. That is the way it is in this league. You just have to do the best you can to maintain your poise and composure.
game happy personal win
I play this game to win championships, not for personal statistics. I'm just happy we won.

In the NFL, you have to grow up quick. The teams that win are the teams that have those guys grow up quick. If you don't grow up quick and make mistakes, you're not going to win.
balls corner corners couple deep finally gives helped line past room throw
It helped a lot just to be able to finally throw deep balls and a couple corner routes, a couple comebacks, just to back the safeties and corners up. That gives me a lot more room just to do what I need to do once I get past the line of scrimmage.

It's definitely an honor. Anytime you can have your name mentioned with Walter Payton, I don't care what it is. Just playing here for the Bears, this is the team that he played for, somebody I idolized growing up. That definitely would be a great accomplishment.

It's a great feeling just to have your name mentioned with him. I just wanted to go in for a series to make sure that I had it, so there would be no question about it.

It's very difficult to see a clean decline and that is because, throughout that time, other states around us were raising their (tax) rates and (smokers) came to us to buy the cheaper cigarettes. That seems to have perfectly offset the natural decline in smoking in Kentucky.
game helps thinking
Sometimes when you're thinking about the game more than your injury, it kind of helps you.
