Our guys worked hard in the off-season program. They trained well, and we were fortunate to have guys who didn't miss practice and games. That helped our continuity.
gives guys keeps work
Our guys were very disappointed, ... They wanted to keep them out of the end zone, but that gives them something to work on so that probably keeps me smiling.
coach deserve guys happen helped players seven system work
Those guys deserve everything they get. They have been in the same system for more than seven years now and that part has really helped them. But they work at it and they're very professional all the way around. You couldn't coach two players that you could want this to happen more. They deserve every accolade because they're professionals on and off the field.
against beat coming cut deal everybody game hopefully houston landmark playing point practice recognize second short team tough week win work
You don't win championships in September, obviously. You don't win them in Week 8. You don't win them with one game. This is going to be a tough deal for us to come back. Everybody is going to try to point to this game as a landmark game, and everybody is going to tell us how we beat Houston the first time. Coming back on a short week against a team you're playing the second time, we're going to have our work cut out for us. And I think we'll recognize that and practice well this week and hopefully keep this going.

arm certain gets likely playing type worked
He's got a brace that he's comfortable playing in. He's in condition, he's worked at it. It's the type of thing that if he gets his arm in a certain position, that's when it's more likely to be hurt.
hard-work guy talent
He's probably the hardest-working guy I've been around who has great ability. Overachievers work hard because they have to. Peyton has rare talent, but chooses to push himself like he doesn't.
motivational teamwork hard-work
Hard work and togetherness. They go hand in hand. You need the hard work because it's such a tough atmosphere... to win week in and week out. You need togetherness because you don't always win, and you gotta hang though together.

When we do what we're supposed to do and execute the play, we've been pretty good on third-and-1 or 2.

With my son's situation and our family, it puts it all into perspective.

We want to see if we can get that done, ... So our focus is winning the first one. This is a very critical two-week stretch for us.
guys hard hit matter wrapping
We've got guys who aren't wrapping guys up, ... No matter how hard you hit them, you've still got to wrap them up.
