among bowl greatest heck history opportunity super
It has been a heck of a ride. We get the opportunity to go down in history among some of the greatest players. This is what the Super Bowl is all about.
bowl form great hard individual inspired inspires ring super team
Jerome has inspired each individual on this team in some form or way. He kind of inspires us to go out and play hard so we can get him that Super Bowl ring and end on a great note.
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.
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.
ben control felt finish game great starting threw timing
That was great timing between Ben and I. He threw it to me before I even made my break. That's the timing we're starting to develop. We felt that we had control of the game at that point, but we just couldn't finish it off.
balls considered drop great knew super
We knew it was going to go for a touchdown. The great ones don't drop balls in the Super Bowl, and I want to be considered one of the great ones.
camp four good great hit hitting looked panic training transfer
We're not going to hit the panic button. We had a great training camp and we looked good in practice. We were hitting on all four cylinders. We just haven't been able to transfer that into games.
against bowl chance game great guys healthy learn super win
We're still a great team. It's one loss. We didn't play particularly well but still had a chance to win the game against the Super Bowl champions. We've got to learn from it and get better, and get a lot of guys healthy and come back and make this 13-game run.
addition field four great pickup question
He is a big pickup in my opinion. With the addition of Quincy, and we put him out there in our four wides, we are going to have four great receivers on the field and it is going to give us a lot of versatility. There is no question he is a great addition to the team. I am excited.
balls dropped eyes feet great left miss plays staying super took worried
Hell, I dropped it. I was too worried about my feet staying in bounds. I took my eyes off the ball. The great ones don't miss balls in the Super Bowl. I still left some plays out on the field.
among great mentioned needs nfl
He needs to be mentioned among the great quarterbacks in the NFL today. In my opinion, he's a star.
coming comment continue great handling job kid might possible pressure scenario tough
He's a big kid at heart. When the pressure is there, when times are tough and you need to make a big play, he might make a comment where he loosens everyone up and get things going. He's done a great job of handling everything. This year, he's been in every scenario possible - coming from behind, doing the two-minute drill, he was in a shootout. He's experienced all that and he's going to continue to grow.
adversity behind calming great guys handling job jokes
We've had to come from behind and he's done that. He's done a great job of handling adversity, calming guys down, making little jokes in the huddle. That's just the way he is.
ben great mentioned might numbers time
Ben might not have the numbers of Peyton Manning, but it's time that he started being mentioned as one of the great quarterbacks in the game.
