dad father winning
I try to live my life like my father lives his. He always takes care of everyone else first. He won't even start eating until he's sure everyone else in the family has started eating. Another thing: My dad never judges me by whether I win or lose.
support family-and-friends teammate
My family and friends and teammates, just having their support has been unbelievable.
games play balls
Usually when we lose a game is because we turn the ball over or not play well enough and usually it is the turnover thing. We have to take care of the ball. It is starts with me and not turning it over.
winning play numbers
The biggest thing isn't necessarily how I play, but that we win. That's my number-one goal. I could be the worst quarterback out there, but if we come out with a victory that's all that matters to me.
building-up fields saws
Big Ben just kept building up. It ended up coming off the field. It kept taking over. Superman kept taking over Clark Kent and you just never saw who Ben Roethlisberger was any more.
football winning mvp
I know I probably never will win the league MVP or passing title. That is not why I play the game. I try to win football games and championships.
balls criticism knocking mph people plays wind winds
People need to realize, and I know they won't, that there was 45 mph winds out there, and it was tough, ... A lot of those plays were not (Tommy's) fault. The wind was knocking the balls down. There was no way he should have got the criticism he did.
dropping guy looking normally people playing sitting throwing
They started throwing people all over the place, ... You're sitting there looking at it, and a guy that's normally a linebacker is playing safety, he's dropping deep.
balanced couple last offense people proven remain sure throw took win
A lot of people said that if we have to throw the ball, we can't win the game. Myself, the line, we took offense of that. The last couple weeks, we've proven that's not the case. We have to keep going and make sure we remain a balanced offense like we have been doing.
bowl dan enjoy second super trying year
Dan told me he made it to the Super Bowl in his second year in the league, and then never got back. He said to enjoy it and make the most of it, and that's what I am trying to do.
weeks
The first two weeks we did very well on offense,
area beautiful best good great guy heath inside knack pocket strong tight
I would say that when Heath is at his best is when we get inside the 20-yard line. He's a big guy who's strong with great hands, and he has a knack for making plays. When you area quarterback and you get out of the pocket and are scrambling around and you can find a 6-foot-5 tight end with beautiful hands, it's a good thing.
icons
I'll never put myself in that category. Those are the icons of the game.
falling fast fourth guess
I thought about falling down at the 1 so he could get a fourth one. I guess I didn't think fast enough.
