I'm always nervous. I was really nervous on that last one. You never feel calm. You just have to trust your swing and let it go. If you miss, you miss, you just have to keep your confidence. |
I'm always ready, ... It'll probably come this week, and I'll have five attempts. |
I've been lifted off my feet, knocked out, helmet knocked off. |
If you have a championship mentality, then you have to go into hostile environments and win on the road. It's just the way it is. |
It crosses your mind every once in a while that it's the AFC championship, but it's not any different. It's that whole thing that pressure's a perception, not a reality. It's what you allow to be put on yourself. |
It seems like every year there's a big kick that's missed and everybody gets all over the kickers. |
It was a smart call because had I missed and they had gone down boom, boom, boom, they could have gotten into field goal position pretty easily, |
It was not a chip shot. It's not as easy as it looks. I feel for any kicker in that situation. |
It's exactly like golf, |
It's the way it was back in '97 when we made our first run. No one gave us any hope. I don't think they gave us any hope until 2 minutes were left in the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl, we were such underdogs in every game we played that year. So we'll kind of let everybody say what they want to say. |
Jake's doing a great job, |
Just seeing the team chemistry, how everybody got along, how everybody interacted, that was a lot different than it has been the last five, six years. |
Part of you really wants it, and part of you, there's some stress there. |
That was a huge play for us. We got the ball back and I think we ended up getting a field goal out of that right before halftime, so that was a huge play for us. |
That's a good thing, ... And if we're settling for field goals, we might not have won the last two, especially the Washington game. It was big our offense came through. |
