Jake’s doing a great job,

I hit it and I said ‘That’s good,’ … It went down the middle and broke right. I have no idea. Usually I know what I’ve done. Right now I don’t have any idea why...

We were flying under the radar for a long time. Nobody gave us a whole lot of chance. It feels good to get a little respect, but we know we have a lot of work...

I think we’ll be greatly improved, and on a team I think was pretty good last year.

I told him that he was lucky. The only thing he hit was the ball. He missed the guy completely.

We were flying under the radar there for a long time. With what Indianapolis had done all year, they were so hot. Nobody really gave us a whole lot of chances out there. It feels...

You could kind of sense it even back in training camp — just the chemistry.

Going on the road will be tough, but that’s what we’ve been gearing up for, to go and get that first one under our belt. If we go out and play well I just think...

It was a smart call because had I missed and they had gone down boom, boom, boom, they could have gotten into field goal position pretty easily,

I think Jake tried to make a fashion statement. But it hasn’t really caught on yet.

It crosses your mind every once in a while that it’s the AFC championship, but it’s not any different. It’s that whole thing that pressure’s a perception, not a reality. It’s what you allow to...

He was a definite upgrade at that position for us.

It seems like every year there’s a big kick that’s missed and everybody gets all over the kickers.

I think that’s more of a compliment to the offenses I’ve been part of. I’ve been with some great players with John Elway, Terrell (Davis), Shannon (Sharpe), especially during the Super Bowl years when they...

The Super Bowl hat. Those are really fun. With the ring to go along with it, too.

Just seeing the team chemistry, how everybody got along, how everybody interacted, that was a lot different than it has been the last five, six years.

It’s exactly like golf,

We don’t have the luxury of everybody just sitting. We’ve got to play some starters.

We were able to sneak back in and win (over San Diego) at the end, and that kind of got us on a roll.

I aimed it — not quite as far right as the ball went — but you want to shade it a little bit, just in case when it starts to lose its inertia, it’s going...

It’s the way it was back in ’97 when we made our first run. No one gave us any hope. I don’t think they gave us any hope until 2 minutes were left in the...

Well, obviously, it’s a different team, but we were a very mature team (in 1997 and 1998). I think we’ve got a lot of veteran leadership, and we were surrounded by a good mixture, with...

I haven’t really even looked at them too much. I don’t even know what they are. I heard the announcer this past Sunday say something about some (milestone) and I don’t even know what that...

If you have a championship mentality, then you have to go into hostile environments and win on the road. It’s just the way it is.

For some reason, it’s not as loud, it really isn’t. And I don’t think any of the fans would say it is. I’m not sure if that’s in the construction of the stadium or what...

You want to go out like baseball guys get to do the next night. But you have to wait the whole week, and that’s no fun.

That’s a good thing, … And if we’re settling for field goals, we might not have won the last two, especially the Washington game. It was big our offense came through.

That’s just like the old Mile High days when we were in the heyday with John. That was as loud as I’ve heard them in this stadium. And I don’t know if there’s been anything...

I’ve been lifted off my feet, knocked out, helmet knocked off.

There’s so much parity in the league nowadays with free agency and every year, you’ve got probably 12, 15 teams that are capable of taking it all the way if everything kind of lines up...

Part of you really wants it, and part of you, there’s some stress there.

I get nervous and I was really nervous out there, but you have to be able to control your emotions out there I guess in certain circumstances, … I am not bragging at all. Some...

I didn’t see a minute of it because I took my son shopping. When I came home, my phone lit up, and I made sure I saw the highlights.

It was not a chip shot. It’s not as easy as it looks. I feel for any kicker in that situation.

That was a huge play for us. We got the ball back and I think we ended up getting a field goal out of that right before halftime, so that was a huge play for...

I don’t think we’re that much more talented than we’ve been in recent years. But the chemistry is there, and things have gone our way.

We know we have a lot of work to do. There’s still some big-time work left against the Steelers. They’re a great team and very capable of coming in here and beating us if we’re...

I’m always ready, … It’ll probably come this week, and I’ll have five attempts.
