One thing people don't understand is we play different positions. I can't do what he does, and he can't do what I do. That's kind of irrelevant. Who cares? All I know is that we've got to stop the run, and he's their running back.
Champ Bailey -
Look at his quotes. He did say they should have played harder

He is definitely a prime example of how to be a pro, whether it's on the field, off the field, whatever. You can't have a better model for a young guy coming in on how to behave yourself and how to carry yourself. He's definitely done all the right things throughout his career.

The way it felt then, I thought my leg was going to fall apart, ... I'm fine now.
Champ Bailey -
You don't know how many times I look back and see the ball skipping on the ground because the quarterback is on his back. That makes a huge difference.
Champ Bailey -
I feel like we're unbeatable anywhere we play.
Champ Bailey -
It means a lot. It means I'm accountable.
Champ Bailey -
Just a good shot right on the right spot in the rib cage.
Champ Bailey

I respect his game, but he knows when the whistle blows we'll go at each other's throats.
Champ Bailey -
We figured they'd try it again, and they did. Only this time, instead of staying with our men, we switched off.
Champ Bailey -
We've got to learn how to finish. It was obvious last week we didn't get it done. This week, it snuck up on us. It caught up with us.
Champ Bailey -
I was totally gassed. I ran out of gas at the 30-yard line. Only willpower kept me going toward the end zone.
Champ Bailey -
There are a lot of things at stake. They're undefeated. If we lose this game, we'll get behind, and that's something you don't want to create in your division. You definitely want to stay ahead of the game.
Champ Bailey -
(The streak) is important and it shows accountability but at the same time, I'm not really concerned with it. There's a lot of great players that have missed a lot of games, so I'm not concerned with that. It's just (that) I want to be out there to help my team win, and I know I can't do anything sitting on the sidelines.

We made plays. It wasn't like they gave it to us. We took it from them.
Champ Bailey -
But we're such a better team than we were last year. I believe that. We'll see if it works out that way, but I believe and I think the rest of the guys in here do, too. We all want the same thing, and that's to win that Super Bowl. And if you've got a group of guys who all want the same thing, you can do some special things.
Champ Bailey -
We finally got a quarterback that didn't throw it away. We got to him. That's what we've been doing all year but we just had quarterbacks that just run out of there and throw it away. We hadn't been fortunate enough to get those sacks, but we got them today.
Champ Bailey -
I wasn't showboating. I just ran out of gas. I've got to give Ben Watson a lot of credit for not giving up and sticking with it and making that play.
Champ Bailey -
One thing you know is that when you cover him, you're going to have to make a lot of tackles. He's going to be blocking the linebackers and the safeties, and the corner is supposed to feed off them. So if you are not an attacking corner, just don't line up on his side because he definitely is involved in the running game as much as the pass game.
Champ Bailey -
There's not one thing that you can put your finger on.
Champ Bailey
-
We definitely made more plays than they did. We accepted the pressure. This was a bump in the road for us.
Champ Bailey -
If something's wrong with my body, I make sure to address it right away and not try to let it linger because it creates a bigger problem. You just have to understand your body, and when your body tells you something you just have to react.
Champ Bailey -
Right before the play started, we looked at each other, gave a little signal to 'in-and-out' those two guys. My guy came in, his guy went out. We switched. The ball came to me.
Champ Bailey -
The only adjustment I have to make is being in game shape. When you take this time off, you lose a little of that game-time conditioning.
