“I’m pumped to be back home. Those are the ones to really look forward to; to be back in our stadium, have our crowd here. It’s going to be awesome. First one of the season, especially a division game, too. It’s a big one, anytime we play the Colts or any team in our division, it’s a big game. So, it’s going to be really exciting.”
