Best Quotes

• You have to look at where he came from, undrafted, unlooked at, nobody really knew who he was. That's a very humbling experience, but I think he appreciates the opportunities he has because he didn't have them in college.

• Whenever you go into a situation where it could be your last play, there's a sense of desperation. I definitely feel it, and I try to encourage my teammates and lead by example. It doesn't matter how we do it, all that matters is we get it done.

• We talked, ... We just talked about all the situations that happened in the game and everything that was going on. That's a conversation I'm going to actually keep and not really talk about.

• We are a tough-minded, physical, hard-nosed team, and I think we reflect our coach's character. That's why we're consistent year in and year out.

• Toward the end of the game today, I said we've been hunting these teams, trying to get respect. And now maybe it's a situation where we're going to be hunted. We've got to understand the situation and stay as hungry and keep trying to prove that we're a good football team.

• To hear the ovation from the crowd, and to hear people I grew up with cheering for me in the Super Bowl, it was incredible. It's better than I ever thought it would be.

• Those guys (other running backs) are Ferraris; I'm an F-150.

• They knew I was going to get the ball ? they had nine in the box, ... But I was fortunate enough to make a guy miss, or to take a guy with me. That's why I'm still around.

• They were a little further behind (than I expected). I looked back and I didn't see anybody. That was incredible. They gave me a moment that I'll never forget.

• That's a great question. I'm going to look at it. The last thing I want to do is diminish anything by even thinking about that. This is a great opportunity we have. I'm going to wait until after the Super Bowl and think about it.
