They said it was time to come home and I knew what that meant.
They've always been up front about when this year's over, we'll take care of it.
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.
The more film I watch, the more I understand that we have to do some great things to run the ball. They stop a lot of plays. And not only that, they push running backs out of holes that they are supposed to be running into, and a lot of times they don't get credit for that. They are amazing players.
A little wake-up call for all of us.
This contract is truly a blessing. To be the highest running back ever is quite an honor. It's pretty good.
We did let a good opportunity to be world champions slip away.
We have an unbelievable team, an unbelievable group of fans. Prayer works. I get knocked out and guys step up. One guy goes down and another guy steps up.
We're a passing team, there's no doubt about that, and we always have been. When you look up at the end of the year, we're going to have a lot of yards on the ground, and we're going to score a lot of touchdowns.
We're here playing the greatest game of our lives, which we're going to have to do to win.
We're all just kind of in the groove. And no one wants to get off anything right now.
We realized what it takes to beat good teams. We got to see it in one crazy environment. D.C. has some loud, great fans. That was an eye-opener for us.
I just think teams have been doing a good job of kicking my teeth in.
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.
