Those teams in the '70s put the city of Pittsburgh on the map. That was a phenomenal run. They created the tradition and the legacy of Pittsburgh. We're proud of that. But it's good to be able to say we did it, too, in 2005, and we did our thing our way.
almost battle came couple difference journey plays team wills
This team understands it's a journey. This is the first step. It was almost a battle of wills out there today, like who was going to flinch first. We just came up with a couple more big plays than they did, and that was the difference in the game.

Why, did he say something? No, we talk, but they are their own people. You know, we were all good on that Wednesday (before the Indy game), then he comes out on Thursday and does his thing. I mean, what are you going to do? He respects everyone. It's just that sometimes it doesn't come out right.
