best certain defines football gets good instead last matter mistakes playing playoffs season totally tougher within year
You go out and you try to do a little too much instead of playing within yourself and playing within the system. The thing this year is to try not to make mistakes you made last year. (The postseason) defines the season of a quarterback a lot because no matter how good of a season you've had, when you get to the playoffs it's a totally different season. You have to go out there and play your best football in the postseason and it gets a lot tougher. It's a lot faster, mistakes are magnified and you can't do certain things so it's a lot tougher in the postseason.
ahead change guys loss main means season
We can't change anything, but there's still going to be tomorrow. We're still going to play, and we still have a long season ahead of us. The main thing is that the guys in there are not discouraged. We're disappointed that we didn't get the win, but we know that we still have a long season. All this loss means is that we can't go undefeated.
continue couple expect hard last playing season week weeks
We've been playing the last couple weeks like it's a one-game season for us and we have to continue to do that. This week is no different. We expect them to come in and play very hard and we have to have our 'A' game.
balanced coming couple last prove season stops throw throwing won
Everyone always said coming into the end of the season that if we had to throw the ball, if someone stops the run, then we won't be able to win. But in the last couple games, we have won by throwing the ball. We can prove that we are a balanced offense.
confidence football game good guys job knew plan ready regular season today
I had confidence in the guys and I had confidence in myself. I knew that when the regular season got here, and we were ready to go out and game plan and really play football when it mattered, we'd be OK. I think today we showed that we did a pretty good job - especially on offense.
against ball bears defense pittsburgh run saw supposed
We saw something in the Bears defense that made us think we could run the ball against them. We wanted to get back to what the Pittsburgh Steelers are supposed to do.
cannot change obviously tough
It was tough because obviously we did not win, but we cannot change that,
absolutely awesome family teammates win
It was absolutely awesome to come up here and win one for Jerome. To win for the Rooney family and for our teammates and all our fans.
ball credit seem
They are an opportunistic team. They make a lot of plays, they always seem to be around the ball. The ball bounces their way a lot, and that is a credit to them.
game running strength
The running game is the strength of our offense,
defense fun mistakes played playing watching
Our defense is all over the place, and it's so much fun watching them play. Offensively, we haven't played mistake-free football, but we've been playing well and we're going to have to keep doing that if we want to go to where we want to go.
games happens row starts thinking three week win
We like to think so. But we're not going to say we can go three games in a row because we want to go one game in a row. It starts this week at home. Nothing happens if we don't win this game (against Detroit). We're not thinking about anything else.
dream guys thank true
Thank you guys so much. This has been a dream come true for all of us.
bit cut everybody gets great lucky perfectly tried underneath
Everybody gets lucky sometimes. That was one of those plays. ... I tried to take a little bit off of it so he could cut underneath it. (Randle El) read it perfectly and made a great play.
