based dream four guys opportunity super true win
You are based on what you do in the Super Bowl. Those guys had the opportunity to win four Super Bowls, and getting this opportunity is a dream come true for me.
plays
Overall, we made plays when we had to, ... We didn't make enough, though.
behind city denver game motivation playing rallying road super sure tough
Playing in altitude, all that, playing there, I'm pretty sure that the city of Denver is going to be rallying behind their team. It's one game away from the Super Bowl. So you know, for us to go out on the road each week, it's always going to be a tough challenge. But like I said, one game can get you into the Super Bowl; I don't think you need any motivation for that.
obviously prepare season
I thought he was going to be here, but obviously he's not. It's sad. I don't think it had to come to this. ... I've got to prepare like we're going into the season right now without Plax; we don't know what is going to happen.

ball ben great guy guys heck job rarely saved speed tackle
I thought it was over when we had the ball at the 2-yard line. Didn't you? Of course, I thought it was over. Everyone did. Then a guy who very rarely fumbles fumbled, and Ben did a heck of a job to tackle the guy. He saved our year. It was a great play. When you're in your goal-line offense, you have all big guys out there and the only guy with any speed is the quarterback.
ask coaches defensive help involved players receiver wide
Just keep doing your thing. But, if they ask you to play wide receiver or defensive back, just get involved with players and coaches who can help you the most.
against ballgame chance great hit team
Just hit it down their throats. They've got great team speed. When we were down 10-7 against them before, we still had a chance in that ballgame to go out and make plays. We just didn't do that.
approach cleveland experience game knock last looking playoff run sure
I'm sure Cleveland is going to be looking to knock us out of the playoffs. It's a playoff run from here on out. We have to play on the road, and what better way to get that experience than to go out and approach each game like it is your last game?
black chills contract driving faith fans football glad good negotiate passionate players policy seeing situation stadium
Im here. Im just glad to be back, ... Im very passionate about football and just driving back to the stadium today, seeing all the fans in their black and gold, a lot of chills went through my body. For me, this whole holdout situation was to show good faith to an organization and (respect) their policy that they dont negotiate with players under contract (who are not in camp).
guy job ken phenomenal stepping
Ken has done a phenomenal job of distributing the ball. Every week, it's a different guy stepping up.
believe believer bold calling joey letting people
Joey is a bold man. We're his teammates. We've got to back him up. Stevens, that's on him. I don't believe in calling people out. I'm a big believer in letting my play do the talking.
against cover run supposed teams
When teams play the Cover 2, you're supposed to be able to run against them, ... We couldn't.
calm collected last night played playoff sit success time watch year
You just sit there and watch Ben, he played night and day from last year's playoff time to this year's. Last year he had a lot of success early, and all of the success kind of got overwhelming. He's been more calm and collected this year.
