We are a tough-minded, physical, hard-nosed team, and I think we reflect our coach's character. That's why we're consistent year in and year out.

Denver has been underrated all year and so have we. That makes for a really great game.
coach game good people realize remembered starting ultimately winning
It's a shame, but I think now people are starting to realize how good a coach he's been for how long. And I think before the game he's being acknowledged for that, so I really think that's a good thing. But ultimately you're only remembered for winning the big game.

It would be a defining moment for him as well.

That's my role. Third-and-1, I'm licking my chops because that is my opportunity to come in and make an impact in the game. So when they called my number, I knew I had to get that yard. I was able to do that. I feel really proud to get those tough yards.
