He always makes plays in clutch situations. Get on the board early, get the touchdown on the board, [that] was huge for us. It gave us confidence, it gave us momentum, and it seemed like we just fed off that. |
He said some nice things. I think it uplifted everybody's spirits. |
He was great. He came to the hospital often, even after the season. Even after we lost to New England [in the AFC championship game], he still showed up. I think that just shows you what kind of man he is. |
Hopefully we can put some drives together, put some points on the board and get it going. |
How he works, in practice every day, is what sets him apart. When I got here what I noticed was how hard him and Peyton work together. It's not by accident what they do on the football field on Sundays. |
I don't think there is. I think we're going to go out there and play football like we know how. That's what he wants us to do, to go out there and play, not necessarily for him, but to win the game. |
I don't think they've been in our heads. They've played better than us, and that's the bottom line. |
I think we'll start thinking about 16-0 if we're 14-0 but that's a long way off. But home field, I think that's something you've got to start thinking about. You've got to understand what it means right now. |
It breaks your heart to see something like that happen to such a great person. We're just going to pray for him and ask everybody else to pray for him. |
It felt good. I'm sore today, and it feels good to be sore. |
It makes things feel like you're back in the routine again. It's normal and, let's play football, let's focus on our job. It definitely does that. |
It's going to be a lot different next year; it always is. Every year's a big turnaround. Great group of guys in this locker room, and you know some of them aren't going to be here next year, and that's just the NFL. |
Just a lot of rain, some trees and limbs down and the power went out. But other than that, they're fine. |
That's the thing about him. He's the ultimate competitor. He practices as hard as anyone I've ever been around, and he lifts weights the same way. That's the reason this offense is so good. |
The crowd helps you a lot, especially our defense. It helps them get off the snap a lot quicker, it makes the offense slower coming off the snap count. That just turns into sacks, fumbles, penalties, turnovers - all kinds of things. So it's really big. |
