Not to be disrespectful, but we expected to win this game.
No disrespect at all, ... but we expected to win this game. I've been on teams and gone in places where I'm not sure everyone felt that way. We're more confident than we've ever been.
You can't make the mistakes like we did and expect to win the game.
This is not being said with any disrespect, but we expected to win this game. That's what we expected to do.
I didn't read into it like other people did. Guess what? We're going to go out and try and win this game. Sorry, we're not going to just go out and lay down.
My teammates and I have just seen a glimpse of what it would be like to win a world championship. And as hard as it is right now -- 'cause it's hard right now -- we know what needs to happen to get it done, and I can promise you that we are all going to do everything we can do to get it done next year. Thank you for your support this year!
People expect the Steelers to win this game. Oh well, we're not getting caught up on it. It is what it is.
I'm happy for him, ... It's a feather in their cap when things like that happen. Unselfish play by everybody and Shaun having a great year, it's a winning combination for our offense.
It was really a team win today. It's just really a great feeling right now to win this game.
I'm happy for him. It's a feather in their cap when things like that happen. Unselfish play by everybody and Shaun having a great year, it's a winning combination for our offense.
People expect the Steelers to win the game. Oh well, it is what it is. It doesn't surprise me that they're the favorite. There are a lot of things that people don't know about us, starting with our names.
All those guys were trying to win the MVP. Somebody must have told them they had a shot on defense, and they were going for it.
Some people would rather be the favorite and walk in and play like the best. That hasn't been our thing this year. We have played to earn respect. And the way to earn respect is by going out and winning the next game you play. That approach has helped get us here.
There was a time when we talked about how good a team we were but I'm not sure we believed it. Now we don't talk about it so much but I know we believe it.
