Maybe they're just laying low. But you'd better believe when Monday night comes they're going to be ready. This is the biggest rivalry in our division, and they'll be ready and we'll be ready. |
My career could have ended on a play that I went out on the field arrogant, I did some things I never should do. I learned a valuable lesson in that. If you go out there with a sense of arrogance and you haven't accomplished anything, you set yourself up for failure. Looking at that and looking at her miscue, it brought back some painful memories for me. |
My defense bailed me out. I can leave here with my head up high. |
My teammates put me on their back and wouldn't let me down. |
My teammates put me on their backs and didn't let me down. I came back to win a championship. Mission accomplished. |
My teammates, they put me on their backs and they wouldn't let me down. |
No question, I think it's a lot easier when there's no expectations. We know what that feels like to have that pressure on you and we came out and said, 'Hey, it's us against everybody.' Nobody expects us to win, nobody is picking us to win, and that's fine. As long as we believe it and the coaches give us a great game plan, we'll execute it and come out on top. |
No question. I felt, a couple of those years, we had the best team, that was the sad part. All three years, I felt we had the better team (better than the three eventual Super Bowl winners). |
Nobody expected us to win, nobody was picking us to win. That's fine ... as long as we believed. |
Not 40. That's too many. That's usually a sign of being behind. |
Of course it crosses your mind. I was on the ground and I just saw people running. I fumbled the football, and that's a no-no, something I can't do. I was mad. |
Of course, it crossed my mind. But that thought was short-lived. Fortunately, it's not (my last play). |
One, I asked them to give me 110 percent. I told them if you walk away from this game giving that, I'm going to say thank you, shake your hand, give you a big hug and tell you how much I appreciate it. The second thing I told them was to get me home. |
Our quarterback has been incredible. His development on the field is the reason we're here. |
People count them out every time they play a worthy opponent and they find a way to beat them, and you have to respect that. |
