I've always seemed to have my best performances when I'm under the most pressure.

The butterflies I get are not if somebody boos me in the crowd, or somebody talks trash about me during the week, or somebody on ESPN rips me. It's the pressure that I'm putting on myself.

The pressure I put on myself is the only pressure I'm feeling once I get into the game.

I want us to be a connected team-on and off the field.

It's a special honor to be one of the leaders of this football team. But I said it once, I'll say it again, no one person wins a game by themselves. Individually, it's top of the mountain, my sport, my profession. It's what you dream about as a kid.

He said something was unique: I like to push the limit to how much air we can put in the football, even go over what they allow you to do, and see if the officials take air out of it.

If we can string together some wins this year, maybe I'll be a close second-or third behind Bart Starr-on their favorite quarterback list.
