I enjoy playing on Monday Night Football because it's special. The fans are always excited and they bring some added energy. You always want to be on top of your game because everyone is watching.
I always take pride in throwing a touchdown because as a running back it's not something you're supposed to do. So I really enjoy throwing the football.
I'm sure Bill said, 'If we stop the run, we have a great chance to win the game because they don't have their All-Pro tight end,'
She went in for a checkup, and the doctors realized there wasn't a heartbeat. We still aren't really sure what caused it. They said it could have been a couple of things.
The last couple years we passed more and were more balanced. Before that we ran 65 to 75 percent of the time. We can do that if we need to.
Losing your last three out of four games, well, it's incredible. I don't know where we go from here, but I think we need to have a gut check.
It's definitely something you think about, having big days and scoring four touchdowns, but you let it come to you,
Out of everybody, people are the most happy he made it. It was long overdue for him.
I went to the Senior Bowl and told myself I'm going to answer the question about this competition thing once and for all,
There's been a lot of situations that it's been right for me to be able to score. It kind of worked out for me,
It's tough to even think of Drew not being here. I guess my mind hasn't really grasped that possibility.
They played real good defense. They got to Drew and really controlled the line of scrimmage,
Everything is so much tighter and faster; it's tough down there, ... I've always really appreciated the long touchdowns, too. It's an explosive play. But, I'll tell you, the harder ones are on the goal line.
It's pretty frustrating. After we lost to Miami, we knew we had to win the last three games. We felt like we had a good shot at doing it. We had to play three good games, Colts, Kansas City and then Denver. We didn't expect to lose. But when you play good teams you have to play consistent football.
