Last year I led the team in rushing and receiving. Definitely, it wasn't a knock to me that they drafted a running back. I didn't take it personally. I'm the kind of guy who needs the ball 22 times a game. Last year I was getting it 20 to 25 carries. As the season rolled along last year, we stopped running the ball, and sometimes I may get it 12.

It's definitely an honor. Anytime you can have your name mentioned with Walter Payton, I don't care what it is. Just playing here for the Bears, this is the team that he played for, somebody I idolized growing up. That definitely would be a great accomplishment.

We just fought. We knew it was going to be a tough game. We have a great defense. They have a great defense. It was just a matter of who could play for 60 minutes and execute in crunch time. Finally, we were able to break through. This is a huge win for our team.

Statistics are one thing, but at the same time, when the game is on and it's kickoff time, you never know how anyone is gong to react. You have older quarterbacks. Peyton Manning hasn't won a Super Bowl he's an experienced quarterback. It doesn't really matter, it just depends on how you play that day.
