The confidence of Patrick is sky-high right now, ... To come back from that interception and drive down and respond and put points on the board we didn't do that last year. This year, there's a different swagger. He came in the huddle: 'Let's go guys. Let's put some points up.' ... Last year, after a turnover, we probably went backward.

And on a day like today, ... going with just two or three backs takes it out of you, brother.

I just feel when we're in our game plan, the running game has been there. Unfortunately, we've always been behind. We just want to play solid and not be one-dimensional. We get one-dimensional, we get in trouble.

I'm good. I'll be at practice Wednesday -- unless I can milk this thing.

Every week, we've had to play like it was our last game. Don't lose that attitude now. Don't lose that motivation. Now, the pressure really is on for everyone else, but we've been going through this.

That's big. That's what they brought me here for. This franchise has been around a long time, so to break it is special.

I've got all week to think about the pain in my leg. As long as I can stand and as long as I can go, I'll go.

That first handoff, it was like, whew, the sky's the limit. At the time, you couldn't have told me we weren't looking at 2,000 yards. But things happen. That keeps you humble and keeps you hungry. It lets you know you can't get the big head. I'd like to think that our struggles last year, being 6-10, made us all better.

It's just maturity, ... It comes with age. I've always been a leader on the field, but as a spokesman or voice of the team, I always was doing my own thing. As a spokesman for this team, I just had to take on a different role.
