We have a lot of confidence. Maybe the world doesn't believe that we can go out and win, but to beat the No. 1 and No. 2 and No. 3 seeds, you've got to have confidence. We felt like with the guys and coaching staff that we have in this locker room, we could get the job done. We've just got to go out and execute our game plan and make plays, and everything will take care of itself. |
We have a lot of faith in him. He's earned it with his play. He's proven again and again that he's a guy who can make plays. |
We have guys who have been in the playoffs before. We kind of know what's at stake. And having not been there, you don't realize how magnified every play is. |
We have to count our blessings. The man above, he really looked down on Jerome and said, 'I'm not going to let you end your career on a fumble like that.' ... We're one game away from getting him to Detroit. |
We have to keep the nucleus together, and plug in some new faces, and we'll be fine. One thing about winning a Super Bowl is that everybody wants a player off that Super Bowl team. They're very hot commodities. Unfortunately for our team, you can't pay everybody. |
We have to run the ball, that's who we are. That's our identity. |
We have to stay away from the negative plays. The third-and-longs, those are hard to overcome. We overcame a couple of them last year but last year we were a great team with second-and-short, third-and-short. |
We knew it was going to go for a touchdown. |
We knew it was going to go for a touchdown. The great ones don't drop balls in the Super Bowl, and I want to be considered one of the great ones. |
We learned a lot this year from the wins and losses. Hopefully in the playoffs it will get us where we want to go. That was our goal all year, to get another opportunity to try to make that run. |
We liked our chances against No. 22. He's a great, talented kid, just young and inexperienced, so we wanted to see if we could exploit that. |

We play them twice a year and we know them. We'll take our chances going to Cincinnati. ... It's not going to be easy, but we're more comfortable with them. |
We practice that. He gave me a chance to make a play. |
We proved all the prognosticators wrong. This is a big win for us. |
