When you have that rivalry and you have that history that goes with it certainly is good for the game and for the sport. I think it adds a little level of excitement for the players and the fans.
I feel so fortunate, so honored, to have played this game that I love for so long, with so many great players, and in front of so many wonderful fans. I fulfilled a childhood dream the first time I stepped on an NFL field, and the league did not let me down one time.
It is the best feeling in the world to have a close game come down to just a couple of plays and you are able to do it.
That's the only reason I'm here. I don't need to play the game for any other reason than to win a championship.
I kind of picked up the game at an early age. The way that other kids would learn what a fork or a spoon is.
Coming back in that AFC Championship Game against the Steelers, that was a poignant moment for me for a lot of reasons - the magnitude of the game and having not been able to play for quite a while and to be able to get on the field for that game. That one stands out.
We had opportunities offensively to end the game and we just couldn't do it. You just can't let them hang around.
With the weapons they have, we know we're going to have to score points, ... You never know exactly how these games are going to go, but it would be a very, very strange scenario for this to be a 9-6 game.
We're going to show up and play the game anyway.
To put (Tucker) over there on an island for the entire game probably wouldn't be pretty smart,
At that point in the game I felt like we were absolutely manhandling them. When we turned the ball over I wasn't happy about that.
At that point in the game I felt like we were absolutely manhandling them, ... When we turned the ball over I wasn't happy about that.
Obviously, this is the biggest game there is and everybody wants to play in this game, ... That would be a hard situation.
I've thrown for a lot of yards and a lot of numbers and played a lot of games and been on some very competitive teams. But I think for my career to feel complete, I need to be the guy on the field quarterbacking the team when we win a championship. That's why I'm here.
