I definitely wasn't expecting that. But it was a great way to begin the week.

I think everybody in this town will be fired up. People will be going crazy, it will be pandemonium.

Being undefeated at home made all the difference in the world for our team. The 12th man - the great fans in this stadium - made a difference all season, but never more than in this game.
doubt healthy next ready whatever
No doubt, we have to get No. 37 back. Whatever we have to do, (we have) to find a way to get him back and healthy in the lineup and ready to play next week.

You don't get to the Super Bowl by accident. It's not just by chance, and we didn't just get lucky.

The thing that's really special about it is that everybody in this locker room is really grounded about the task that we have ahead of us in playing the Steelers. It's not hard to be engaged and be focused on what we've got to get done.
couple despite game happened help ourselves whatever won
Despite whatever happened in the game, we still didn't do some things we could have done to help ourselves out. We still could have won that game if we would have just made a couple of plays.

It seems to be our year. We have an opportunity to do something very special in this city.

He sure deserves it. He's had a very impressive year. In my mind, no one has been more deserving of MVP.
guys matter needed plays time understanding
It's just a matter of guys just understanding it's time to make plays. Those opportunities in the past, when we had them, we didn't make the plays when we needed to, and this time we did. That's the difference.
football great guys locker love
This is a great football team. I love the guys in this locker room.

Hopefully we can start building a tradition around here where in 15-20 years from now, people will be talking about the '05 Seahawks the way they talk about those '84 Seahawks.
almost bringing corner great job ready safety
They do a great job of bringing them. They corner blitz, they bring the safety, they bring linebackers. So you have to be ready on almost every play that they're going to bring somebody.
definitely difference eliminated fact gets issues past worry
I think a lot of things that plagued us in the past, where we definitely had some off-the-field issues ... I think the fact that we eliminated a lot of that stuff, and we don't worry about who gets the credit, that's made all the difference in the world.
