I thought it might be my Achilles' tendon, ... And when I got to the bench the trainers right away thought it was my Achilles'. I was worried there for a bit. I hear that's how a lot of Achilles' injuries happen, by just taking a step. I thought it was over.

I think it's been my work ethic. I've just been a hard worker, a guy that's always trying to be positive and put a positive swing on things sometimes even in the darkest moments. And I think people can relate to that being a blue-collar guy. My game is a blue-collar game. Three yards and a cloud of dust and get up and do it again. That's the way in the Midwest, especially Detroit, which is a very, very blue-collar town. I think people relate to that, as well as Pittsburgh.

They knew I was going to get the ball they had nine in the box, ... But I was fortunate enough to make a guy miss, or to take a guy with me. That's why I'm still around.

No question, I think it's a lot easier when there's no expectations. We know what that feels like to have that pressure on you and we came out and said, 'Hey, it's us against everybody.' Nobody expects us to win, nobody is picking us to win, and that's fine. As long as we believe it and the coaches give us a great game plan, we'll execute it and come out on top.

That's my role. Third-and-1, I'm licking my chops because that is my opportunity to come in and make an impact in the game. So when they called my number, I knew I had to get that yard. I was able to do that. I feel really proud to get those tough yards.
