We missed some opportunities, but at the same time you have to give Pittsburgh credit. You don't miss for no reason.
We were really enjoying the laughs. All that is part of this experience.
We don't just want to win the Super Bowl, we want to make a dynasty. I want to be a player who makes that a reality.

We don't care if we're overlooked or not overlooked, if we're picked to win or not picked to win. When you get to the playoffs, it's just about playing the game, looking at it for what it is, and trying to be ahead when the clock runs out.
