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.
gets team
When it's do-or-die for us, this team gets down to the nitty-gritty.
anybody best board few football nfl obviously picking pittsburgh points team
I don't think anybody is picking us to win. Obviously, they're the best football team in the NFL and we're just the Pittsburgh Steelers. We're going to go in and obviously try to find a way to just put a few points on the board and compete.
anybody bounce hopefully stronger team
We have to bounce back. If anybody is questioning themselves, they don?t need to be out here. I think this team will bounce back strong, hopefully stronger than ever. We have to; there?s no question.
against team
We know that everybody's against you, and all we have is us. That's what makes this team so strong.
beat football game gets good team
This team is an unbelievable football team. They're as good as it gets in the NFL. It's going to take our A-plus game to go out and beat their B-minus game.
definitely field game knock question quick team
You can never simulate the game, the game speed, in practice, especially a team like Indianapolis on their Field Turf. So I think it will be a challenge, I definitely think there will be some rust. The question is, how quick can I knock it off?
against card disrespect everybody good media teams underdog wants
Everybody wants you to play the underdog card or the disrespect card. That's for the media. We don't disrespect them, and they are not favoring us. This is two good teams going against each other.
defense fall fell fit game great helps line lucky offensive running situation team
It really helps to have a (good) team around you. Having a great running game like we have, and the offensive line does a great job, and a great defense -- it just really fit me well. I was lucky to be able to fall into the situation that I fell into.
support family-and-friends teammate
My family and friends and teammates, just having their support has been unbelievable.
amazing defense faced team toughest
They're a team that has persevered and done amazing things. It could be the toughest defense we've faced all year.
both boxing coming dance fighters fought match teams
That's kind of the interesting thing. This is going to be a boxing match between two fighters who've never fought each other. Will they dance around a while to feel each other out? Or will it be a slugfest with both teams coming out swinging?
coach early protect purpose smart team
Coach said if you go out there too early and get hurt, it negates the whole purpose of having the surgery. We're going to be smart about it. I'm not going to go out there if I can't protect myself, and put the team in jeopardy.
definitely last motivation played teammates
I was disappointed with how I played last year. That's definitely motivation for me this time. I don't want to let my teammates down.
