There`s no hard feelings. We`ve got something great going on. We`ve got a real good head coach, who sets a great tone . . . got players who have one common goal. In the end, we`re trying to get to Detroit. Don`t let anybody fool you. That`s why we`re in this game.
I`m going to say it early. I think we`ve got a dynasty. The offense is just getting going, and they`re only going to get better.
We needed this, it`s a rite of passage game, ... When you get through a game like this, it shows you what you`re about and shows you where you`re trying to go. ... At certain points, this is a journey. And it was a hell of a journey today.
A distant memory. Many moons ago. Now, we`re looking forward. It`s the future. We`re living it now. We`re in the moment. It`s a whole another ballgame. It`s a whole another perspective. It`s this year. It`s about what we have. It`s about pioneering back to new things and getting ourselves back to winning things like Super Bowls.
Right now he`s one of our best defensive players. ... He`s like our 12th man.

He`s a big, strong guy. He can throw the ball the length of the field and take big hits. He`s what you want at quarterback. He`s the next level.
We`ve got to be there. We`re all Americans.
It`s going to be a showing of what we are all about and what were trying to get accomplished for the whole year. As a whole, this game is appropriate for so many reasons.
That`s the type of thing we can do on defence. We want to do something special.
