assumed doctors examined fine game knew miss satisfied stadium
On Peyton's situation, I kind of misspoke. We did an X-ray at the stadium after the game and the doctors were satisfied with it. I just knew that he had been examined and was fine. I assumed it was an MRI and said that, told one of our writers. It was not an MRI, but he has been examined. He's fine and won't miss any time,

One thing about them, they find a way to win. You just have to give them a lot of credit. They played well. They were missing some guys, but it didn't seem to matter to them.
anybody ball best challenge england front mission playing satisfied straight super team tough win won
Our mission is to win a Super Bowl. And we know we've got a very, very tough team in front of us. New England has won about 13 straight and they're playing the best ball of anybody in the league. Going up there is going to be tough. We know what the challenge is, but we're not going to be satisfied just getting to the championship game. We think we've got a team that can win it.

Our guys worked hard in the off-season program. They trained well, and we were fortunate to have guys who didn't miss practice and games. That helped our continuity.

Pittsburgh's offensive line is very physical. They have Pro Bowlers all over the place. We've got to use our quickness. We can't stand in there and hand-fight with them.
dan good great judged realize short super win
I think that is probably how he'll be judged in the short run. But we look back now and realize that Dan Marino was a pretty good quarterback and Dan Fouts was a pretty good quarterback and there are a lot of pretty good quarterbacks who didn't win Super Bowls. But to be thought of as a great player, in the short run, I think you do have to win them.
ended feeling good losing
The two times I've been 5-0 we've ended up losing big games, ... We really need to get this one and it will be a good feeling if we can get to six.
conclusion fortunate great guys mike replace rid
Everyone kind of had it a foregone conclusion that Mike wouldn't be back, but you don't just get rid of guys without being able to replace them. We were fortunate that we were able to replace him with a great, great kicker.

Our offense just is not quite on all cylinders. What our offense is doing is making clutch drives. We are doing a lot of things we need to. I think we're going to be fine.
