We did let a good opportunity to be world champions slip away.
Through generations, they taught me that it's OK to be black and confident, black and loving, and to be black and a leader.
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 were comfortable going into the championship game because we know he usually wins 'em.
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 here playing the greatest game of our lives, which we're going to have to do to win.
I went from not knowing if I am Batman or Robin, to feeling pretty good at the end of the game, to every day getting better in my head. And this game was really good.
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.
We have a lot of things to be proud of. We took Seattle to a place it's never been before.
We were really enjoying the laughs. All that is part of this experience.
