gas kept ran totally toward willpower
I was totally gassed. I ran out of gas at the 30-yard line. Only willpower kept me going toward the end zone.
ahead create definitely lose stay
There are a lot of things at stake. They're undefeated. If we lose this game, we'll get behind, and that's something you don't want to create in your division. You definitely want to stay ahead of the game.
chance definitely feels game good home stay worry
When you get a chance to play a game like this at home, you definitely want that opportunity. It feels good to be able to stay at home and not worry about travel.
football game messing thoughts win winning
We're not messing around. We want to win every game from here on out. We have to or else we go home. I'll tell you what, we do have our thoughts in the right place, though, and that's winning. We're a winning football team, that's what we do.
ahead far
We don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves.
expect good half last next week
You know what to expect from him every week. You don't get a different quarterback. You see some quarterbacks go out there and play great, and then the next week they go out there and they don't play half as good as the last week. So I like that.
accepted bump definitely plays road
We definitely made more plays than they did. We accepted the pressure. This was a bump in the road for us.
attitude aware beat people
We're aware of how people look at the Patriots. When they're in the playoffs, they're invincible, unstoppable. We're going to have the attitude that they're good, but we can beat them.
trying body addresses
If something's wrong with my body, I make sure to address it right away and not try to let it linger because it creates a bigger problem. You just have to understand your body, and when your body tells you something you just have to react.
blessed player thinking
I've been blessed with some luck, great ability and athleticism. That's really what's made me a great player, but I think the reason I've been able to last this long is the little things like taking care of my body.
football hurt growing-up
The street is where we all learn. I played organized football growing up as well, but when that was over, I went right to the street. I remember twisting my ankles, breaking my thumb, I hurt everything when I was little playing street ball.
mean accountability
It means a lot. It means I'm accountable.
deals ifs
This is a business, and I'll deal with it when it comes. If it comes, it comes.
team fighting guy
I'm always fighting to make the team anyway. I'm always preparing like I'm one of the bottom guys, trying to make the team.
