To do special things you need have special players and special performances. Obviously you saw one tonight from Chris Lofton.

H. Hart

Every game it seems like they have a little different game plan, whether they pinch the ends or run stunts in the middle. I don't think the Seattle defense does as much as just that the middle linebacker is just that good. He's fast, he's quick and when you have 320-pound lineman running after you and you're 230 and run a 4.4 or 4.5, you're going to be free a lot of the time. It's hard to get on him.

Dillon has played very solid defense for us, we've just got to get him on track at the plate. We've had very solid defense up the middle.

Gregg Williams

Cornelius is a strong leader on the defensive line. We like the fact that his leadership comes from the example he sets on the field. Then, when he does talk, he means it when he talks. He's had tremendous energy since he's been here. There are not many defensive tackles I would rather have playing for us in our style of defense than Cornelius.

I drive a Prius and drink $10k bottles of wine. The wine isnt on Instagram. The Prius is.

I've turned over a new leaf. On TV, Kenny Wallace said I was a pessimist after Charlotte, so I got mad. Now I am so excited about coming back that I just can't stand it. I wish we were starting tomorrow and I'm going to win! That's the new me.

Over the millennia the seed of stories planted in the fertile soil of bits and scraps of facts was watered by wishes and began to take root and grow.

The truth does not glitter for these people like gold does.
