01:01I have been up close and personal with chickens.
01:05I guess those are chickens.
01:09Roosters are some of the most bravest animals in Animal Kingdom.
01:12They look after the whole flock.
01:16Have you ever seen a rooster?
01:18Those are roosters.
01:21So you ever see the way he walks around the chicken coop?
01:25He has confidence.
01:27He has confidence in himself.
01:34I have confidence in the group and the team.
01:38I don't know how I'm going to ever be able to get back from this.
01:41And I'm thinking about the suspension.
01:43I'm going to get the trust back from my organization, the biggest type of player that I was before.
01:48Without Miller, the Broncos reached Super Bowl XLVIII, but they failed to sack Russell Wilson a single time.
01:56In free agency, John Elway added linebacker DeMarcus Ware and his 117 career sacks.
02:05Growing up in Dallas, I had idolized DeMarcus my whole entire life.
02:10And to get him on my team, to get him in my life at that moment, it was really no
02:16other way that it could have been planned or written.
02:19Or the story couldn't have been any sweeter.
02:28He was one of those guys where I'm like, you know, I really just took up on my wing.
02:32He was like a brother to me because he's that pass rusher.
02:35It's like that fraternity of rushers.
02:38That's just what we do.
02:39And I remember asking him about moves.
02:41I remember asking him about, I don't have any kids.
02:44I remember asking him about, you know, fatherhood and what that means to him.
02:49But then also, he did a lot for me.
02:52You're at that tail end of your career, and you see yourself in somebody else.
02:58You see that fire.
02:59You see that, you know, tenacity that he brings to the game.
03:03And then guess what?
03:04You're like, you know what?
03:04I know exactly what I need to do.
03:09In 2014, Ware and Miller combined for 24 sacks.
03:15Denver's defense improved from 19th to 3rd in the NFL.
03:21But the team was still upset in the divisional round of the playoffs.
03:32I mean, you had the athletes, but you didn't have a big conglomerate of guys come together
03:42with the same mentality.
03:45In 2015, new head coach Gary Kubiak brought a new mentality with him to Broncos headquarters.
03:53The first day, we just started working out.
03:56There was a banner up there that said, iron sharpens iron.
03:58I said, what goes with that is another man sharpens another.
04:04That was important, you know, holding guys accountable, but also encouraging each other,
04:11trying to make each player better.
04:13And there's no doubt that DeMarcus and Vaughn made each other better.
04:19Since Peyton Manning arrived in Denver in 2012, no NFL offense was better.
04:28And Manning did it while adjusting to a neck injury that ended his tenure with the Colts.
04:35Manning has had four medical procedures in just 19 months, rendering his neck almost bionic,
04:42nerve damage repaired, two vertebrae fused, even experimental stem cell treatments
04:49performed in Europe just this past summer.
04:51The surgery kind of healed.
04:53The pain I was having in my neck and upper shoulder area,
04:58but it did leave a lot of weakness and some permanent numbness.
05:09This tingling in my right index finger and in my thumb.
05:16I had a doctor tell me, hey.
05:24You never know.
05:25You might wake up tomorrow and it's going to all be back.
05:28Your strength.
05:31Wow.
05:31And the feeling in your fingers.
05:33And when I got here to Denver,
05:37it was a hybrid offense of plays that
05:52to play football a new way.
05:57Oh, man.
05:59Happening.
06:03All the time.
06:05That was going to be a process.
06:13All the time.
06:25That was going to be a process.
06:28Wow.
06:31Wow.
06:33Ware was already familiar.
06:50Flack open. Close one for Gilmore.
06:53Gilmore is battled for.
06:55And intercepted! Darian Stewart!
06:58Well, it lacked offense, but it sure didn't lack drama.
07:05Let's go, team. Let's go in there. Put that showdown, baby.
07:08Thursday showdown, baby. Let's get it. Let's get it.
07:11You know, Peyton's a sheriff.
07:12I mean, he calls the plays.
07:14He changes things. He does a lot of audibles.
07:18But with Kubiak, it's like, here's how we're going to run it.
07:20We need to be consistent. We control the clock.
07:23So it's all like a formula.
07:25But the formula could be flexible.
07:28After early struggles against the Chiefs,
07:30Peyton, quick throw, pass intercepted.
07:33Kubiak gave Manning more freedom.
07:35I turned it over early. Gave them the lead.
07:3814-0. Not the ideal way to go and win the game.
07:42Marcus Peters. Yeah, people don't talk about him anymore.
07:46Much about him. Enough.
07:48I can just remember Coach Kubiak and Coach Denison
07:51just saying, hey, we might have to throw it every time,
07:53but we have to open things up, get things going,
07:56try to find a way to win this game.
08:08And the Broncos, after trailing 14-0,
08:11have come back with two touchdowns in one minute and 43 seconds.
08:1640 seconds left in the game, and the Chiefs leading 24-17.
08:23Touchdown Denver Emmanuel Sanders, a laser from Manning.
08:26You know, now the Chiefs, let's say if they have 20 seconds
08:29they're trying to drive, they'll get a field goal.
08:31And I think we were down there on their side,
08:33and they were at, like, the 30-yard line.
08:35My gut says he hands it off.
08:37He's going to hands it off.
08:38Let me time out here.
08:39And we have no time out.
08:41Run it, and run the Broncos.
08:45Jamal Charles, and he runs head first.
08:48And the ball's knocked free, and the ball is picked up.
08:50And I'm like, run, run, run.
08:55Bradley Roby picks up the fumble and scores.
08:58And I'm like, how did that happen?
09:07His second touchdown this season.
09:12Hit by Vaughn Miller.
09:14He fumbles the Broadway.
09:22Hey, he rips.
09:31To celebrate, Vaughn Miller turned
09:33to the Comedy Central show Key and Peele
09:40for help.
09:42Hingham McCregenberry is a guy
09:52that has so many best celebrations
09:54in football.
09:56Ha-ha.
10:00See, now there's two pumps.
10:02Yeah, he's really tight.
10:05Flag.
10:06He's clearly gotten the ref's attention here.
10:09A flag no matter what.
10:10See, oh, he just did it again.
10:12You're allowed to do two pumps.
10:14I can take it over two pumps.
10:17Ha-ha.
10:25The Week 8 celebration of the Broncos'
10:2797 Super Bowl champions
10:29was less risque,
10:31and it inspired DeMarco
10:38And I said, look at those guys
10:40right there.
10:41They won the Super Bowl
10:43and it's forever.
10:49That's forever.
10:51And the guys was just
10:56Hey.
11:26They should have just thrown it out of the end zone.
11:30I felt like the game
11:32against Green Bay
11:37Dummy
11:39Was probably
11:41And kind of gave us
11:47Man, he's glad
11:48it's a good game of his career.
11:54And not
12:13We were undefeated
12:15at that point.
12:16We had to remind ourselves
12:19of that a little bit.
12:20Woo!
12:21Because
12:26People could kind of create
12:27almost like you had
12:27two different teams.
12:28You had the Broncos' offense
12:30was
12:30two and
12:35five,
12:36but the Broncos' defense
12:37was seven and oh.
12:38No, that's not true.
12:40Actually, we're all
12:41seven and oh.
12:42Hey, remember what happened
12:43last year, man?
12:50Oh!
12:50He sent us home for
12:53Denzel Ward.
12:54He was
12:54he was nice.
13:01For the previous year
13:14I have backsp
13:34Unbiting the
13:37Broncos.
13:39I got injured
13:40actually on a play
13:42and I actually had
13:42success
13:49All the Daniels
13:50on a deep crossing
13:51route
13:51All the Daniels
13:52is there
13:53But I felt
13:55something in my foot
13:57F*** me
14:00They start
14:00from there
14:01on 33
14:02Holt's leading
14:03by three
14:06That ball
14:07is going to be
14:07intercepted
14:08at the 48
14:11It is
14:13Robert Matthews
14:15Over in Indianapolis
14:16and so is the
14:19beaten streak
14:20of the Denver Broncos
14:21Denver would lose
14:23DeMarcus Ware
14:24for six weeks
14:25with his back injury
14:28and Manning
14:29partially tore

17:16puzzled
17:18he was like I had a
17:19negative 12 rushing yards
17:20in college
17:21I said wow
17:23and he was like
17:24DeMarcus do you remember
17:25when you played for
17:26the Dallas Cowboys
17:27and I was on the goal line
17:29and I knew you was going
17:30to go play the cutback
17:31because you thought
17:32I wasn't going to boot
17:32they run at Moreno
17:34behind Mitch Unrein
17:35and actually
17:35Peyton Manning
17:36with a play fake
17:37I told him
17:38you run about
17:3810 miles an hour
17:41DeMarcus Weir
17:42bid on that so much
17:43he never even
17:44looked back

17:55I ran fast enough
17:58speed was not
17:59the first priority
18:00as Peyton Manning
18:01and DeMarcus Weir
18:02recovered from injuries
18:03I needed time
18:04to get healthy
18:04I was going to be
18:05two weeks in a cast
18:06and then time after that
18:08to kind of see
18:10how your foot feels
18:12Brock Osweiler
18:13made the first starts
18:14of his career
18:14and Weir's role
18:16was filled by
18:17young linebackers
18:18Shaq Barrett
18:19and Shane Ray
18:20I'm like hey
18:21Brock
18:22Shaq
18:23Shane
18:23is going to
18:24do what they
18:24need to do
18:25to win games

18:27come back 100%
18:28we need to let
18:28those guys keep going
18:29the captains
18:31need to be back
18:32and we need
18:34to be back full
18:36Weir and Manning
18:38remained sidelined
18:39when the team
18:40hosted the defending
18:41Super Bowl champions
18:42I had to watch the game
18:43in the equipment room
18:44due to my cast
18:45it was tough
18:46you can hear the crowd
18:48roaring
18:49you can hear the crowd
18:49screaming and cheering
18:50but you're not able
18:51to be out there
18:52and be a part of it
18:53it's easy to be
18:54in a good mood
18:55to be a good leader
18:56when you're playing
18:58how good of a leader
18:59are you still
19:00when you're not playing
19:04it was just that type of vibe
19:06that Peyton Manning
19:06had about him
19:07that helped everybody
19:08out in the locker room
19:09iron sharp as iron
19:10you know Brock King
19:11they make sure you
19:12look this side
19:13on cover two
19:15and then they go
19:16back out there
19:16and we're watching
19:17the game
19:17and we're like
19:17oh man they changed it
19:18yeah man
19:19and he's like
19:19he you know
19:20looked on the back
19:21side of cover two
19:21back of the end zone
19:22called ball
19:23touchdown Denver
19:25it's a big time
19:26throws by Brock Osweiler
19:31even though me and
19:32Marcus speak
19:32the same language
19:33he's just a wizard
19:35he was telling me
19:36like you know
19:36when you come
19:37you just gotta keep coming
19:37you know you're gonna
19:38punch you
19:38you're gonna punch
19:38first you know
19:40swiping a hand
19:40and coming underneath
19:42and I ended up
19:43making a sack
19:43in overtime
19:54tied at 24
19:56second series
19:57of this overtime period
19:59here comes C.J. Anderson
20:00running behind
20:00a wall of blockers
20:01C.J.'s on the loose
20:02C.J. coming to me
20:03down the sideline
20:04C.J. Anderson
20:05to the house
20:11I was happy for Brock
20:14significant win
20:16for his early
20:17quarterback football
20:18career
20:19and knew it was
20:20gonna put us
20:21in a great position
20:22I mean I've played
20:22in a lot of games
20:23against New England
20:24when the winner
20:25of that game
20:26was gonna be the one
20:27who probably was
20:28gonna host
20:28the other team
20:29in the playoff game
20:30but the Broncos
20:32would need to clinch
20:32a playoff berth
20:33first
20:34No idea the Patriots
20:36were even undefeated
20:37that year
20:38because everybody
20:39was so hung up
20:40about the Panthers
20:43after beginning
20:44the season 7-0
20:46Denver lost
20:47four of its
20:47next seven games
20:49including
20:50back-to-back losses
20:51to the Raiders
20:51and Steelers
20:54Ware returned
20:55from his back injury
20:56in week 16
20:57and provided
20:59a welcome boost
21:00in overtime
21:02what Tlaib does
21:03is the hand signal
21:04and then
21:04he's gonna
21:05cover the guy
21:06a little bit longer
21:07and so he looks
21:08at me like
21:08DeMarcus
21:09you better get there
21:10it was like that
21:12something that was
21:12missing that you
21:13can't get
21:14if you're not playing
21:18and Bones was like
21:19hey go to the left
21:19side and rush over there
21:20they're not used to
21:21you rushing on the left
21:22side
21:23and so all of a sudden
21:24I like jumped the count
21:26and got off the ball
21:27and I see him like
21:29catch the ball
21:29and he looks at me
21:30like oh shh
21:41I'm like
21:42we won the game
21:44I can't believe
21:44we won the game
21:46this is what I was
21:47made for
21:48this is the reason
21:49why I play
21:53playoff
21:54playoff's right there
21:55there they go
21:59as Peyton Manning's foot
22:01improved
22:02his recovery shifted
22:03from the training room
22:04to early morning
22:05private practice sessions
22:07I did do a lot of my
22:08rehab throwing
22:10with some receivers
22:11who necessarily
22:11didn't have to be
22:13in meetings
22:14like Jordan Taylor
22:15who was a practice
22:15squad receiver
22:18Brooks
22:18our field guy
22:20doesn't run
22:20quite as good
22:21as he used to
22:22when he played
22:22in high school
22:23Mike Harrington
22:24our equipment manager
22:25was my center
22:26and then
22:27Chris Kirshner
22:28was videoing it
22:29so we could
22:30kind of study
22:30ourselves
22:31somebody asked me
22:32why are we filming
22:33this
22:33I mean
22:34who's watching
22:35this
22:35and I just
22:36remember saying
22:36well
22:37there's one way
22:38to find out
22:42found out
22:43later that night
22:44that Coach Kubiak
22:45was watching the film
22:47in week 17
22:49Manning was back
22:50in uniform
22:51but not
22:52the starting lineup
22:54I had not been
22:55a backup quarterback
22:56in 22 years
22:58since
22:58my freshman year
23:001994
23:01I wanted to be
23:02out there
23:02to help Brock
23:03if I could
23:03to help anybody else
23:04and then we just
23:06had a bunch of
23:07bad breaks
23:07had some tip balls
23:08they caught us
23:09on one blitz
23:10and Coach Kubiak
23:12asked me at halftime
23:13if I was ready
23:14and then he said
23:15be ready
23:16in the second half
23:16let's see what happens
23:17and Peyton
23:18he was ready
23:20but
23:20didn't nobody
23:21know that
23:21but Peyton
23:23and I look at him
23:24and he looks at me
23:27and like he smiles
23:28and I'm like
23:29what is this
23:30idiot smile
23:31we were like
23:31losing game
23:35and Peyton
23:36starts running
23:37out there
23:38and I seen
23:39he was like
23:43I'm back
23:46I'm back
23:48here comes
23:49Peyton Manning
23:49not on a white horse
23:51that would be too dramatic
23:52you just heard like
23:54the fans go crazy
23:56every single thing
23:57that Peyton did
23:58you know
23:58he could hand the ball off
23:59and they go
24:03Omaha this Omaha
24:05here he goes
24:07to get back on
24:08the field
24:09was fun
24:10that's where
24:11I was used to being
24:12the Broncos
24:13are the number one
24:14seed in the AFC
24:16it was us
24:17getting our leader
24:18back
24:18us getting our team
24:19back
24:20how it was supposed
24:21to be
24:21to be out there
24:22as a starting quarterback
24:23certainly
24:24I was looking forward
24:25to that
24:26I said
24:27what kind of cheese
24:28is in mozzarella sticks
24:30Denver faced
24:31even bigger questions
24:33against the Steelers
24:35Le'Veon Bell
24:36and Antonio Brown
24:37were out with injuries
24:38Ben Roethlisberger
24:40nursed a hurt shoulder
24:41and the Broncos defense
24:43they still have to deal
24:45with Martavius Brown
24:46or somebody like that
24:48still struggled
24:52Toussaint weaving through traffic
24:54and now spinning
24:55for a first down
24:56and look at the balance
24:58by Toussaint
25:02the Steelers seemingly
25:03ran through
25:04every Broncos defender
25:06and anyone else
25:08who might have been
25:08in the way
25:16Wade Phillips
25:17got taken down
25:18did you see
25:19Wade on the sideline
25:20he was like
25:21whoa
25:21and I think
25:22the next couple of
25:23pressures
25:24the next couple of
25:24plays that he called
25:25was all pressures
25:26all blitz
25:27all blitzes
25:28he wanted to
25:29get back
25:30but even with
25:31the Broncos
25:32appearing down
25:33Pittsburgh could not
25:34fully take advantage
25:44and they're saying
25:45he wasn't touched
25:45by Allen
25:46he got back up
25:47and threw a strike
25:47to Emmanuel Sanders
25:49not the most graceful
25:50looking play
25:51one of those plays
25:52that you
25:54when you watch the film
25:55the next day
25:56it's like
25:56well I wish we could
25:58just fast forward
25:58through that
26:01I remember Mike Tomlin
26:02giving that referee
26:03an earful
26:04saying that
26:04I was down
26:05or giving myself up
26:07I think there may be
26:08a rule change
26:09which it's always
26:10an honor to be
26:11a part of a rule change
26:12maybe have my name
26:14on the rule change
26:14if you will
26:17DeMarcus Ware
26:18had his own slip up
26:19in the fourth quarter
26:208 block under
26:2110 minutes
26:2213-12
26:23Pittsburgh over Denver
26:24I thought it was
26:25going to be a bootleg
26:26so I ran up the field
26:27and the tackle
26:29just like
26:29threw me up the field
26:31and I'm like
26:32holy crap
26:33there was a wrong play
26:36I read the wrong play
26:37it was a run
26:39instead of a pass
26:41I spin back around
26:42I'm going full speed
26:43trying to run
26:44and pursue
26:44and the ball is
26:45right down the ground
26:49here's a handoff
26:50to Toussaint
26:52ball is on the ground
26:53and recovered
26:54by Ware
26:57from that play
26:58you see everybody
26:59on the team
27:00just started like
27:00getting really pumped
27:01build it
27:02build that energy baby
27:04you got to score
27:05on this one right here
27:05though
27:07let's go and get this two

27:12to the end zone
27:13touchdown Denver
27:18quick throw

27:24mad
27:24it is loud
27:26the stadium is shaking

27:52this is the game
28:02Denver wins it
28:03they advance to the
28:04AFC championship game
28:06where they will face
28:07the New England
28:08Patriots
28:10whoa
28:11but the only way
28:12you make it hard
28:12is if you beat that
28:14iron into something
28:14that's bigger
28:16I don't know
28:17if you see the goosebumps
28:17on my face
28:18but he reached in his bag
28:20and he pulled out
28:20the Lombardi trophy
28:21and he slammed it
28:22on the table
28:25and I said
28:26this is what we've built
28:27from all that metal
28:29that we've melted down
28:30this whole season
28:31somebody's here
28:32trying to take our jewel
28:34for the fifth straight year
28:35the AFC championship
28:37featured Bill Belichick
28:38and Tom Brady
28:41those guys have been
28:42a huge part
28:43of my football career
28:44I've always played
28:45against Bill Belichick
28:46you know
28:46for all 18 years
28:47and then you know
28:48Tom for 16 out of the 18
28:50you knew
28:51it was going to go
28:52down to the wire
28:57play fake
28:57Peyton rolling to his right
28:59I think Peyton's foot is fine
29:01wow
29:01I think everybody's surprised
29:03on that play
29:04including the Patriots
29:07pumps once
29:08throws
29:09he's got Daniels there
29:11and Denver's got a touchdown
29:14during the course
29:15of the week
29:15Owen was pretty quick
29:17on this route
29:17and just kind of
29:18made a quick fake
29:24so I was like
29:25I got to get the ball up
29:26you know
29:26super quick
29:27and we get to the game
29:28and he really sells the route
29:31and I kind of double clutch

29:33oh my gosh

29:35I'm ready to throw
29:36hope I don't overthrow him
29:41his throws were vintage Manning
29:44his run was not
29:46he never runs
29:48to see him run
29:49it's like
29:50a deal with headlights
29:54and then see him run 12 yards
29:58I say you know what
29:59he wants it
30:00he really wants this game

31:03you don't like it boys
31:04you don't like it
31:05no you don't
31:07no you don't
31:08Wade Phillips thought
31:09Tom Brady would like
31:10Von Miller in coverage
31:11even less
31:13when he told me
31:14I was just gonna be
31:15guarding Gronkowski
31:16one on one
31:16I was just
31:18I kind of like
31:18looked at him like
31:20you've been listening to me
31:21this whole time
31:22and you're gonna pick
31:23today
31:23to listen to Von
31:24and I remember him
31:26taking a little
31:27out route
31:27and instead of me
31:28man turning with him
31:30I flipped to the outside
31:31something that I haven't done
31:33all week
31:33I haven't done that
31:34and I just remember
31:35like no
31:35you're not supposed
31:36to do this
31:37I remember looking back
31:38at Tom Brady
31:39and I just tried
31:40to run back
31:41to my area
31:42throws pass
31:43gonna be intercepted
31:44Von Miller
31:44with the pick
31:45in the first half
31:47the Broncos held
31:48Tom Brady
31:49to 87 passing yards
31:50no touchdowns
31:52and two interceptions
31:53but the game
31:55remained close

31:57fourth quarter
31:58one more stop
31:59right
32:00one more stop
32:01one minute
32:0252 seconds

32:05Denver 20
32:07the Patriots 12
32:11he steps up
32:12Tom is gonna be hit
32:13and he throws the ball
32:14landing incomplete
32:15as he was drilled
32:16from behind
32:16by DeMarcus Ware
32:17Brady
32:18spun down
32:20DeMarcus Ware
32:21it's been the story
32:22all afternoon
32:23the Denver Broncos
32:24forcing New England
32:25now to a fourth
32:26down and 10
32:26wide
32:2720 seconds
32:28snap to Brady
32:29stands and throws
32:31down the right
32:31seed for Gronkowski
32:34he makes the catch
32:35at the 15
32:36tumbling to the 10
32:38I just want to
32:38kick the ball
32:39how does he make
32:40that kick
32:40I just want to
32:42kick the ball
32:42out of his hands
32:43I'm like this is Brady
32:46I can't let him
32:47win this game
32:47because he's done
32:48this his whole career
32:50he's not doing it
32:51this year
32:51the difference right
32:52now is the touchdown
32:53and a two point
32:54conversion
32:5517 seconds to go
32:59Brady hangs on
33:00to his last cast
33:06touchdown
33:11you know that was
33:13the first time
33:13I felt nervous
33:14you know all season
33:16DeMarcus Ware
33:17was breathing down
33:18Brady's neck
33:19on the touchdown
33:20with the Patriots
33:21lining up for a
33:22game-tying two-point
33:23try
33:24Ware needed
33:25a second wind
33:26I was gassed
33:27I couldn't do
33:28one more play
33:29I was like
33:29laid out there
33:30on the field
33:37something in my mind
33:39just was like
33:39just go out there
33:40so I just ran out there
33:42I'm talking about
33:42like
33:43I mean
33:44lethargic
33:44couldn't even
33:45like go out there
33:46on the platform
33:46like I'm still
33:47I gotta go
33:52and all of a sudden
33:53I see Wade Phillips
33:53he says
33:55timeout
33:56and I said
33:59they got the confidence
34:00in me
34:00that I'm gonna get
34:02out there
34:02and I'm gonna do it again
34:03the timeout
34:04carried enormous risk
34:05it gave Bill Belichick
34:07and Tom Brady
34:08more time to plan
34:10two-point conversion
34:11snap to Brady
34:12all
34:13the conversion
34:13was no good
34:14in his right ear
34:15Brady Moore
34:16to his right
34:17Brady throws
34:18past
34:18and he stopped
34:20he had not learned
34:22it because Ware
34:22was all over him
34:24the Broncos
34:25have played
34:26the Super Bowl
34:2650
34:27I pointed at Wade
34:29I was like
34:30thank you
34:31Wade Phillips
34:32made sure
34:33DeMarcus Ware
34:34had one play
34:35left in him
34:35Peyton Manning
34:37had one more game
34:41Wade and
34:42Bum Phillips
34:42had been
34:43pro football
34:45in some capacity
34:47for 51 combined years
34:48they had never
34:49been to a Super Bowl
34:53well they had never
34:54won a Super Bowl
34:55and Wade was
34:57about to win one
35:00situation
35:00and so
35:01now that I was
35:02back out there
35:03playing
35:03I wasn't about
35:04to say
35:04hey
35:04you know
35:05I moved on
35:06I'm going to
35:07throw a Demarius
35:07and a manual
35:08now
35:08I've moved on
35:09I stuck with
35:10those guys
35:11that really
35:11helped me
35:12through some
35:13tough times
35:13I love you
35:14you too man
35:15let's go
35:15cut it loose
35:16I'm happy you're
35:16my quarterback
35:17man
35:17I'm happy I met you
35:18thank you
35:18yes sir
35:21Panthers
35:22Panthers have come off
35:22two butt kickings
35:25over two really
35:26good teams
35:26where they just
35:27dominated and got
35:28up early
35:29for us to come out
35:31and to try to get
35:32the lead
35:32just to sort of
35:34change the way
35:34they had played
35:35these previous two
35:37games was important
35:39came out
35:39I went on the
35:40first play
35:42hit Bubba Caldwell
35:44down the right
35:44sideline for a key
35:45third down drive
35:46ended up you know
35:48getting a field goal
35:51first time in
35:52postseason
35:53that the Panthers
35:54have trailed
35:56Carolina quarterback
35:57Cam Newton
35:58was the first pick
35:59in the 2011 draft
36:01Vaughn Miller
36:02was second
36:03and did not forget
36:04about it
36:05I remember just
36:06looking at Cam
36:06like
36:08I wanted him
36:09to look back at me
36:09I wanted him to
36:10feel my presence
36:12the whole game
36:12I was 30 seconds
36:14after getting the draft
36:16I'm going to be
36:17two seconds
36:17behind you
36:18in this game
36:28I can see the play
36:29clock just as well
36:30as a quarterback
36:31could
36:31so I remember
36:32seeing it
36:33getting down
36:33to like three
36:34checking over
36:35to the quarterback
36:35said they snapped
36:36they said two
36:36and I'm like
36:37I'm going on
36:38the very next sound
36:42I'm running
36:43towards Cam
36:43and I'm like
36:44please don't
36:45throw the ball
36:46I'm going to
36:46get the ball
37:08half time lead
37:09I can stay on the ball
37:11and learn some clock
37:12yeah that's fine too
37:14maybe earlier in my career
37:17I would have had
37:18a chess match
37:19with Luke Keekly
37:20if I was doing
37:21the things
37:21that I used to do
37:23used to have
37:24those matchups
37:25with Zach Thomas
37:26and Ray Lewis
37:28quarterback checked
37:29out of the pass
37:32Manning is smart
37:33I mean his arm
37:34may not be as live
37:35as it once was
37:36but he knows
37:37when to just
37:37get on the football
37:38and not try to make
37:39a heroic statement
37:41that's the game
37:42you've got to play
37:42the rest of the way
37:43out as long
37:44as we hold back
37:45it was a good reminder
37:46of me that I was
37:47kind of in a different
37:47place
37:49wasn't being asked
37:49to do some of those
37:51things
37:51didn't have to
37:52maybe carry as much
37:53on my shoulders
37:54and allow other guys
37:55to do their parts
37:56in order to help us
37:57win this game
37:58Denver put the game
37:59in the hands of
38:00Von Miller
38:01and the defense
38:05Newton in the gun
38:06sets up the throw
38:07right side
38:11incomplete pass
38:12how about that
38:14Von Miller
38:14the pass rusher
38:15taking a wide receiver
38:16down the field
38:19so I got up
38:20and I was excited
38:21and I kind of like
38:22celebrated
38:22and I hyper extended
38:24my left leg
38:27I remember
38:28the feeling
38:29I had
38:29on my left knee
38:30being
38:31similar to the
38:32feeling I had
38:33on my right knee

38:55of this dude
38:56the ball's knocked
38:57out of his hands
38:58and bounces around
39:00and I think Denver's
39:01got it
39:02Von Miller again
39:13to go on there
39:14and make the sack
39:15and then to still
39:17be conscious
39:17to get the ball
39:18and throw it back
39:18to the end zone
39:22that is a heck
39:23of a mindset
39:25I didn't have
39:26that mindset
39:27but if you want
39:27to put it on me
