He's got a brace that he's comfortable playing in. He's in condition, he's worked at it. It's the type of thing that if he gets his arm in a certain position, that's when it's more likely to be hurt.
balls generally guys knew martin plays situation throw
It's just that guys were very focused. We knew where a lot of the balls would go, and once we got into a situation where Martin had to throw and try to make some plays ... that's when you generally get the interceptions.
credit matter missing played seem
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.

They make you fight and scrap for every yard you get.
bowlers line offensive pro stand
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.
