“He always makes plays in clutch situations. Get on the board early, get the touchdown on the board, [that] was huge for us. It gave us confidence, it gave us momentum, and it seemed like we just fed off that.”
“How he works, in practice every day, is what sets him apart. When I got here what I noticed was how hard him and Peyton work together. It's not by accident what they do on the football field on Sundays.”
“They're fighting for their playoff lives right now. They need a win bad, so we're going to have to play good football to win. It's not going to be an easy game.”
“It breaks your heart to see something like that happen to such a great person. We're just going to pray for him and ask everybody else to pray for him.”
“He was great. He came to the hospital often, even after the season. Even after we lost to New England [in the AFC championship game], he still showed up. I think that just shows you what kind of man he is.”
“What separates him is how he respects you and how he cares for you off the field, not just on the field. When my son was in the hospital, he went out of his way to come and visit even after the season was over, when he didn't have to do that and when he was a busy man. That just showed a lot to me, what kind of person he is.”
“The game helped us to put what happened out of our minds a little bit. He wanted us to come out and play. It was tough for all of us. We wanted to come out and play well, and we didn't play as well as we liked.”
