Getting that first win was cool. It was a blessing. I just feel blessed and honored to be able to share it with a group of guys that I have love for in this organization. Just overall it’s always a good feeling.

I was thankful for Coach Fox’s first win as the Broncos’ coach, and we players need to make sure he has many more to come. Because he deserves it.

The game came down to a drive in the fourth quarter, and the defense had to step up. It was just a point in time in the game where big-time playmakers made big-time plays in big-time situations. Wilhite, Von, the whole defense, we came together and we made it happen. But it all started off when the offense set the tone for us. Overall it was great execution on both sides of the ball.

Monday Night Football. You know what? Running out of that tunnel, I really told myself — it really felt like I accomplished something in my life. I was proud of myself because first of all, I trusted in God. I obeyed my parents and respected all my elders, and I worked so hard. I worked so hard to get here. So hard. Words can’t even explain it. So I was just thankful to be able to share that with some of my favorite players of all time. I’m sorry we didn’t come out with the win, but despite that, it was a blessing.

Seeing Brian Dawkins do what he does, it was great. My mom and uncle were surprised of how hard the dude can still hit. But you know what, you wouldn’t even know how old he is watching him play. He’s a great man. I love that dude. I couldn’t ask for anything better. Playing with him is like playing with Rod Woodson, Ed Reed, Ronnie Lott or Steve Atwater — he’s in that group. If I want to be the best one day, I’ve got to learn from the best. And I get to do that here.
