We don't mind working hard to be successful. We don't mind working to be at our best.
I played at LSU stadium a few times, and things were rowdy and fans were yelling things. In the SEC, the quarterback is going to get harassed in those big stadiums. But I don't know if I've ever played in a place where a team had reason to dislike me.
All the regular season does is get you to the playoffs. And now you see what you've really got.
My arm feels fine. You still have to be aggressive, but if something's ugly and not there, you can't force it in.
It changed the game right there. He always seems to make the big plays when we need them.
You never know what you're going to get from week to week in the NFL.
He wants to play. He is a competitor, so I know he will do everything he can to get ready for this game.
Peyton and I aren't competitive with each other. We root for each other to do well. Last year was the first time we've ever been in the same league and playing at the same time. I'm always glad for him when he plays well and they're winning.
Every game he just makes so many outstanding plays for us. Not only with his runs, but with his pass receiving. He?s our work horse and we are going to keep feeding him.
I pumped on that one and he made a great catch, ... That got things going for us. That was a huge play.
He changed the game right there for us. It improved our field position and changed the momentum. It was a big play for us. When he was down you're thinking how you don't want to see anyone get hurt. He's such a key factor for this offense. You get a little worried. But he bounced back and he's OK.
It's going to be meaningful and exciting. It's going to be something different, something I've never done before.
That's been one of our goals from the beginning of the season and it would be a big accomplishment for this team. It's been in our sights the past couple of weeks and now it's here for us to have if we want it. It's just a matter of whether we can go out there and play football well enough.
I've had some good games and bad games. I think I've been putting our team in situations to win most games in the fourth quarter. That's been one of my goals. But I have to improve my play in all aspects for us to have a chance to do well in the playoffs.
