Quote Of The Day

“[Desmond Howard and Charles Woodson], they all made big plays. And for me, it’s how do I put myself in that mode or that spot to be with those great players. All week, what’s popped into my head since Sunday is legacy. This is a game to stamp my legacy. This is a game to put my team within the legacy. It’s how I prepare every single day to help my team and prepare my team and even myself to become part of that legacy. Making sure that I have everything that I can do prepared for Saturday.”
