close fact hard lifetime minutes sheer title understand
It won't be hard for the sheer fact that I'm 0-3 in these title games. So I understand that it can be as close as 60 minutes or it can be a lifetime away.
behind further gave looked moment
They were a little further behind (than I expected). I looked back and I didn't see anybody. That was incredible. They gave me a moment that I'll never forget.
foolish last looking outside sit super three won
They've won two of the last three Super Bowls, so it would foolish of me to sit back and think they're not the favorite. If I was on the outside looking in, I'd say the same thing.
block everybody gets job party sure
What Stevens said is true; their job is to make sure it's not a big block party after the game. Our job is to make sure everybody gets a ticket.

We understand it is going to be deafening and we aren't going to be able to hear. But it helps having played there earlier this season.
consummate learn people
Duce is a consummate professional. People can learn a lot from him.
assume ready saw wide
You assume we're going overtime. I wasn't down. I was getting ready to go. When I saw (the kick) go wide right, it was incredible.
ask head identity looks physical pittsburgh settle takes team tough type
You ask why have the Pittsburgh Steelers been a physical, smash-mouth type of a team for so long. I think it's because the team takes the identity of its head coach. He looks for tough players. He looks for physical players. And he doesn't settle for anything less.
ask believe believes block everybody gets job party shame skate spoke sure
You ask us to tell you something, and when we kind of skate around the truth, that's accepted. But when we tell you what we believe to be the truth, I think we've been criticized. So it's a shame that he spoke out on what he believes and he's being criticized. What Stevens said is what he believes. Their job is to make sure it's not a big block party after the game. Our job is to make sure everybody gets a ticket.
beating bowling good major maybe mother smart street time
Bowling was my first love. Beating my mother for the first time when I was 13 or 14 was a major accomplishment. I had big glasses. I was a pretty smart kid, maybe nerdy, but I always had a good street sense.

Ben blew it when he dove in. He was supposed to go down at the half-inch line.

Bill deserves a lot of credit for this.
coming control knew
We knew coming in that if we wanted to control this division, this was the game.
cheering grew hear ovation people super
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.
