I've been on some bad teams with a lot of down years. People don't even know who you are. You'd be out and they'd be ripping the heck out of your team and then they find out who you are and they kind of feel small. This is better than that. |
In the NFL, 300 yards rushing, that is unheard of. You look in college and you see those games. I don't know how often that happens in the NFL, but I know it's rare. That's a huge, huge thing. It's funny, we were in the huddle before Mo (Morris) broke off that long 49-yard run, and I said, 'Hey, let's get Mo a hundred, let's get Mo a hundred.' And he said, 'Hey, I'm running behind you guys.' He busted out through there and it was nice to see. I was trying to catch him, but I was tired. |
In years past, when we won a game like we won last week, guys would have been jumping around, making noise, yelling, being happy _ then we'd relax and lose the next game, |
It hurts. It really, really hurts. |
It was just a reaction. We ended up getting, I don't know 8 to 10 yards on the play. |
It was kind of unsaid, but we wanted to eliminate the buts. |
It was like I had motion sickness out there. I came back [to the locker room] at halftime. I asked the trainers, and they said it happens sometimes. It's like hitting your funny bone. |
It was more my son that I had to calm down. He was devastated. But it was just one of those things. Like I told my son, I'm just glad I've played so long that the team I played for was worried about my age. You have to keep it in perspective. If the team is worrying about my age, then I've had a good career. |
It was something as an offensive line that we really wanted. |
It's a fine line, the difference between winning and losing, and you have to win these games. It gives you confidence. It gives you momentum. A win like this takes the question away of whether we can do it. We've done it now. |
It's a real honor and a humbling thing to reach that goal. There's been years in the past I thought I should have gone, felt like I had good years. Part of it is being on a good team and being surrounded by good guys. ... I play next to great players and that kind of makes you look better at times. |
It's been a goal of mine every year I've played. It feels awesome. It's a real honor and kind of a real humbling thing to finally reach that goal. |
It's different. They have a great defensive line. Fortunately, we have a couple of weeks to prepare for them. |
It's good to have a win, but this is a team we should have beaten. That's the thing that's encouraging — not the fact we won this game, but that we didn't slip and make it a close game. |
It's like a shirt when it's all wrinkled up. You press it with an iron and it comes out looking better. |
