Those guys (other running backs) are Ferraris; I'm an F-150. |
Those guys are Ferraris; I'm an F-150. They go in every 3,000 miles, but I go 100,000 before you start changing the oil. The durability and dependability, that's where my benefits come in. |
To be in the Super Bowl, I am living the dream. Then to be at home, it's an unbelievable dream. It's one of those things you don't want to end. |
To hear the ovation from the crowd, and to hear people I grew up with cheering for me in the Super Bowl, it was incredible. It's better than I ever thought it would be. |
Toward the end of the game today, I said we've been hunting these teams, trying to get respect. And now maybe it's a situation where we're going to be hunted. We've got to understand the situation and stay as hungry and keep trying to prove that we're a good football team. |
Turnovers are one thing you don't want to see. |
Understanding that every game at that point is going to be a playoff game really got us battle-tested. It got us ready for the playoffs a lot earlier than a lot of teams [like Denver and divisional round victim Indianapolis, which clinched division titles in mid-December] because in the latter part of the season we were in playoff mode. |
We are a tough-minded, physical, hard-nosed team, and I think we reflect our coach's character. That's why we're consistent year in and year out. |
We carry Pittsburgh in our hearts wherever we go. ... And you better believe, when we come back, we will have one for the thumb. |
We don't have to be as good as we were last year, ... It doesn't matter if we're 15-1 again - if we're 10-6 but we win the Super Bowl, that's a better season. |
We don't have to be as good as we were last year. It doesn't matter if we're 15-1 again — if we're 10-6 but we win the Super Bowl, that's a better season. |
We had different circumstances. At 7-5, understanding that every game at that point is going to be a playoff game got us battle-tested, ready for the playoffs, a lot earlier, because we turned it on in the latter part of the season. We were in playoff mode. |
We knew coming in that if we wanted to control this division, this was the game. |
We knew it was going to be a four-quarter game. Experience comes into play when you are down like that and you take their best punch. (It) was a factor in the second half. |
We knew what this was all about, and we couldn't afford to lose. You still got to go through us. |
