They just beat the defending champs and, conversely, they watched the film of us losing to that same football team, ... So they're going to have a lot of confidence saying, 'We just smacked around the team that just beat this team.' You've got to think they'll have some confidence. |

They knew I was going to get the ball ? they had nine in the box, ... But I was fortunate enough to make a guy miss, or to take a guy with me. That's why I'm still around. |
They put me on their backs and made sure they wouldn't let me down. I played this game to win a championship. I'm a champion, and I think the last stop is here. |
They were a little further behind (than I expected). I looked back and I didn't see anybody. That was incredible. They gave me a moment that I'll never forget. |
They've won two of the last three Super Bowls, so it would foolish of me to sit back and think they're not the favorite. If I was on the outside looking in, I'd say the same thing. |
This feels great. It makes everything that I've ever had to go through worthwhile. I've always wished it could have been me, and now that I have the opportunity, I relish every moment of it. |
This has been a lot of fun. The one thing we're not losing sight of is we came here to play the Super Bowl. |
This is amazing. You play your whole career for this opportunity, and to have this opportunity at home in Detroit . . . to win a championship in front of my friends and family and everybody who's seen me play since I was a kid, it's a dream come true. |
This is good for the team, ... It keeps team morale up. Whenever you get a player of his caliber signed, it shows the commitment the organization has to its players. I think it reinforces a positive message that if you go out there and perform on the field, we'll take care of you. I think that makes a very, very conducive environment for us to go out there and work. |
This is ours, but it's also yours. |
This is the calm before the storm. We've looked forward to getting back to practice. It's our haven, where we look to get away from everything. |
This is what it's all about. This is why you play the game. |
This makes everything worthwhile. It makes everything we, as a team, had to go through and personally, everything I've had to go through over the course of my career [worthwhile]. |
This means everything. This is what you dream of. |
