We knew what was going on with Spygate. We were in football mode, and it didn't impact our day-to-day. There's so much noise on the outside - 'You're cheaters, you're this, you're that' - but the easiest way to settle that is to go 18-0 and go to the Super Bowl.

It always comes down to being accountable to your teammates and so many times you get caught up in everything else going on.

I've always believed in myself and I've surrounded myself with positive-thinking people.

From one week to the next, everything changes from who you're playing to the defense's scheme.

In the preseason, you usually only get a small window of opportunity, but when you get out there for four quarters and you're able to put it together, then you're able to go out there game after game and continue to get better, it was great, especially when I was able to prove a lot of my critics and naysayers wrong.
