It's more fulfilling to be 13-3, to know we're in the playoffs and we don't have to play next week. Those are more fulfilling than the rushing title. The scoring title, the touchdowns, I do like that. That's pretty cool.
I think it is a catch-your-breath week. It is kind of like study, get your strength back, and heal up kind of week. We are paying attention but it will really, really increase next week.
I already got it, that's how it feels. It could be mine by itself, but I don't think too much about it.

He looked like he got in a fight with me. I sat around and cracked every joke I could that I had, to make him laugh ... It was tough, but he's going to be good. He's strong. I was more emotional than he was. He's going to be fine.
This is the best family atmosphere we've had in six years here. That's what family members do, when somebody's not there, they say, 'We're going to carry you for a while.' And that's how the whole game went.
I just think no one is perfect. If you asked them (the officials), they'll probably say they could have had a better game. You can't take nothing back. What you can say is Pittsburgh won, and everybody has to go and knock them off because they're now the defending champions.
No big deal. We figured the Rams were going to score some points anyway. When you think the score's going to be 30-30 at some point, 7-0 is nothing.
I've seen us go from a team that was 6-10 and people would be laughing at to a team that you have to respect.
I let Mack (Strong) beat up on people, and I run behind him. That's going to work. It doesn't matter what other teams do, it's always going to work.
This is kind of surreal right now (to be thinking of the future). I'd like to return to Seattle. On the other hand, fair is fair.
This contract is truly a blessing. To be the highest running back ever is quite an honor. It's pretty good.
Our defense did good enough for us to win, and we didn't help them out at all. Jacksonville did what they wanted to do against us, which is throw us around. They totally controlled the whole game.
Everything that happens, he always tells us before it happens. So it's kind of like, 'Oh, Mike said this.' That gives you great confidence in everything, that it's going to happen exactly how he said, so you can be relaxed and comfortable.
